Runnin’ for Rhett is a non-profit foundation that was founded on December 7th, 2007 by a grass roots group of family and friends that love Rhett Seevers.  Our mission is to LET RHETT’S STORY INSPIRE those who feel defeated, UPLIFT those who feel down and ENCOURAGE all to take that first step, like Beth did in the spring of 2005, and MOVE INTO LIFE.

• Runnin' for Rhett Foundation Scholarship Fund: After an extensive application process, each spring, two $2,500 scholarships are awarded to carefully selected Sacramento Country college students that are enrolled in a "special education" teaching credential program.
  
  
  
  
• R4R Youth Fitness Program: Each year, over $60,000 is funded to over 30 Sacramento area elementary, middle and high schools. The grant awards include a 5-week after school training program that provides a twice weekly coached training program, a baby blue R4R cotton t-shirt and a entry into a designated 5K run in April and October. The students are also awarded special race medals in a school assembly after each event.
