  SATURDAY - June 13th @ 6:00pm

  Rylee’s Run 5k commemorates the life of Rylee Rae Vinson, who was born August 16, 2007, at thirty-two (32) weeks and passed away eight (8) days later due to complications of premature birth. Rylee’s parents, Jason and Jessica Vinson, established the RIBS soccer tournament in 2010 and Rylee's Run 5K in 2012 to help raise money for the hospital that has meant so much to them over the last several years - the Le Bonheur Children's Hospital Neuroscience Institute and NICU.
