HOW WE STARTED
January 9, 2025
Through the darkness, the grief and the daily struggles we were able to find a way to accomplish something positive out of this very negative life changing loss. Thanks to a very generous friend’s donation we established this scholarship fund and we know Tyler would be proud of us for pushing through and accomplishing this in his honor.

FIRST SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT
May 22, 2025
Congratulations to Lucas Brode from Tussey Mtn High School, our very first recipient of the Tyler Runk Memorial Trades Scholarship. Lucas's dedication to learning welding and his passion of hands on craftsmanship truly represent the values this scholarship was created to honor. His hard work and drive embody what it means to "Stay; and Light tomorrow."
AWARENESS GAME
September 9, 2025
The TMHS Girls Volleyball Team and Boosters proudly hosted a Suicide Prevention Awareness Game, showing incredible teamwork on and off the court.
With the support of so many generous hearts - through raffle baskets, cash donations, and vendor participation - the event raised $2415.00 helping keep Tyler's legacy alive while supporting future students in the trades.
We want to sincerely thank everyone who contributed - from Tussey Mountain students and families, Northern Bedford students and families, community members, vendors and donors - for turning awareness into action.

OUR GOAL MOVING FORWARD
Our goal is to expand the Tyler Runk Memorial Trades Scholarship to reach even more high school seniors. Empowering the next generation to discover purpose, pride, and opportunity in the skilled trades, while continuing to spread awareness and hope.
