Time-Honored Fundraiser Takes Place Tuesday, April 12th – Virtually and at RIMS RISKWORLD in San Francisco, CA

March 1, 2022 – Registration for the Spencer Educational Foundation’s 8th Annual Spencer & Sedgwick 5K Fun Run is now open. This year’s 5K Fun Run will be a hybrid event taking place Tuesday, April 12, 2022 in person at RIMS RISKWORLD and virtually for individuals not attending the conference. The 5K Fun Run is one of Spencer’s leading fundraising events in support of Spencer’s various programming efforts and benefiting future risk management and insurance leaders.

“We are thrilled to be back in person at RIMS RISKWORLD this year while also maintaining the virtual component of the run that has been a huge success over the past two years,” said Spencer Executive Director Megan Miller. “As our support base grows, it is nice to be able to come together from all parts of the world in support of our industry’s future.  Whether you’re able to travel to San Francisco in April or not, we want everyone to be included in the fun.”

The Spencer & Sedgwick 5K Fun Run began in 2015 as an in-person fundraising 5K occurring during the RIMS Annual Conference. Each year, the 5K Fun Run has steadily grown in participation and funds raised. Due to the pandemic, the Spencer & Sedgwick 5K Fun Run pivoted to a virtual event in 2020 and will continue to hold the virtual component allowing anyone to participate no matter their location.

“Sedgwick is honored to continue our support and partnership with the Spencer Educational Foundation by sponsoring this year’s 5K for the eighth consecutive year,” said Jonathan Mast, Digital Strategy Director for Sedgwick. “I am thrilled that we will be able to participate in person this year. Also, there is the virtual option so that everyone can support such a great organization regardless of location. Let’s make this year the best ever! Sign up and run, jog, walk wherever you are.”

Spencer is encouraging individuals to gather their friends, family, colleagues (and pets!) to participate in this year’s 5K Fun Run. Participants can register individually or as a team. Individual registration is a $50 donation and can be accessed online here. Sponsorship opportunities are also available and can be viewed here.
