Roberds Run 4 Your Life 5K & Walk to Remember
Benefiting P.E.A.R.L. and the Ben Roberds Scholarship Fund
The Roberds Run 4 Your Life 5K & Walk to Remember is an annual fundraiser benefiting Northwest Arkansas–based nonprofit P.E.A.R.L. The Ben Roberds Scholarship Fund honors the life and work of Ben Roberds, whose career was cut short by cancer on April 24, 2019, at the age of 37. Each year, the scholarship creates opportunities for graduates of the Benton County Specialty Court to continue their education through an accredited 2- or 4-year college or vocational school.
