Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum

Celebrating Dennis' passion for running and to raise money for the Dennis Risch Memorial Fund.

Runners and Walkers are welcome

Benefit:

Dennis S. Risch Memorial Fund. The fund this year will be supporting the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center.

Dennis cared about providing opportunities for young people to flourish and break cycles of poverty. He had a heart for at-risk youth and life-giving opportunities like sports, travel, and outdoor adventures. As a father and coach to three daughters, he rooted for girls. He loved music and sponsoring music opportunities for others. Deeply rooted in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, he cared about the urban core and preserving history of these places. He sought to spread examples of God’s love and goodness through his life and his gifts.
