River to River Runners College Scholarship Program
Every year the River to River Runners award a $750+ scholarship to graduating high school seniors across southern Illinois. Those who are awarded show the value of running to themselves and those around them, not just personal accomplishments alone.

AP3 Hope Foundation Inc.
has a “Charitable Mission” to promote the welfare of others and the community by providing immediate hardship assistance, aid, grief counseling, and support to parents and families who have lost a child/children within the past 12 months.
The charitable grief and crisis response counseling, and support service is also for student-athletes and coaching faculty who have lost a fellow team-mate.
We are also purpose driven to provide communities with motivational speaking, education, training, and resources on Grief, Trauma, Crisis, and Mental Health & Wellness.
We provide Annual AP3 Legacy Scholarships to Marion High School to student athletes who have exemplified the qualities of Aaron Porter Jr. “AP3”, leadership, character, faith, dedication, determination, motivation, strong work ethic, perseverance, and good team sportsmanship. AP3 Hope Foundation, Inc. grants AP3 Legacy Scholarships to student-athletes who are in need of financial assistance to further their academics on a collegiate level. We have awarded over $8,000 in scholarships since 2019 when the AP3 Hope Foundation, Inc. was legally established and we will continue to provide AP3 Legacy Scholarships as we raise money for this specific cause.
Our goal is to Inspire Hope and to carry on the legacy of Aaron Porter Jr. “AP3” and the inspiring words of “AP3” to Inspire others in the course of life difficulties in the face of adversity, opposition, loss, and tragedy to “Run Your Race”, “Have a Dagger Mentality”, and “Strive for Greatness!” Aspiring others to never give up and persevere to the finish line to experience the victory!
