The Josh Waldrep Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) started to honor Josh and raise awareness about the condition Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, (CVS). The Foundation is proud to sponsor scholarships to the University of West Georgia, Carrollton High School, and donations towards finding a cure for CVS.
The Live Like Josh event is ready to host 2027 with a 5K hosted on the University of West Georgia Athletic complex. Join us at 6:00 pm at the Stadium Concourse to hear memories of Josh and know more about CVS.
We invite all children (12 and under) to participate in the Touchdown Dash for Josh at 6 pm on the UWG Wolves football field. We will start the 5K and 1.1 mile walk from the University of West Georgia stadium home ticket booth at 6:30pm. The 5K will travel around the Athletic complex and showcase the stadium, the wolf statue and several other athletic fields. The 1.1 mile walk will make the distance loop around the beautiful Wolves Football Field from start to finish line.
