Nearly 1,000 people gathered at Boone Grove Middle School on Saturday, May 28th, 2011 for the 4th Annual Kent’s Run 5K race. Each year, the race raises funds for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, raising over $100,000 for the organization in the race’s short history.
This year, the event was able to raise approximately $35,000! There was also a drawing from registered runners to win a guitar signed by country music star Kenny Chesney, valued at $1,999.99 which was given away to winner Nick Harvey.

About Kent’s Run 5K
Kent's Run 5K was established in 2008 to honor the life of Kent Ribordy, a Boone Grove High School student-athlete who passed away after a battle with leukemia. Kent was a resident of LaPorte, Indiana, before moving to the Valparaiso (Porter Township) area. All proceeds raised during this event benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
