About the Event
Run/Walk/Move With US to Increase Educational Opportunities
Thirty years ago, the Ron Brown Scholar Program was born from a profound promise: to build a lifelong community committed to doing good. A trailblazer and man of action, Secretary Ronald H. Brown, famously challenged all of us to “keep the door open and the ladder down for others to follow”.
Since 1996, The Ron Brown Scholar Program has been that very ladder, ensuring we lift as we climb. Today, that vision has grown into a global family of leaders who connect and lift each other up to ever greater heights. This year, we’re celebrating the impact of Secretary Ronald H. Brown and the Program’s 30th anniversary with Striding Forward, Reaching Back — a day of activity to fund the next 30 years of impact and educational opportunities.
Run/Walk/Move for Ron Brown anywhere and anytime between July 26 and August 1, 2026. Walk, or run for 5 kilometers, or move for 60 minutes and be part of this movement to change lives.
