Run for Theron Keeps Theron’s Legacy Alive | Columbus News

In a heartfelt tribute to their son Theron, who died by suicide in 2022, the Rogerson family launched the “Run for Theron” annual race and scholarship to honor his kindness, sportsmanship, and work ethic. Now in its fourth year, the event draws around 300 runners and funds scholarships for Granville High students who embody those same values — even if they’re not top performers. The family personally reviews applications, mirroring Theron’s own journey, and has expanded the scholarship to include female students. Beyond the race, they host free “Brave Talks” mental health workshops to break stigma and support families — turning grief into powerful, community-driven change.
