Welcome to the Jim Dunn Memorial Scholarship information site -
home of the Jim Dunn Run!
Jim was well-known to the local Morgantown community as manager of Pizza Inn and Pargos, Special Olympics' coach and volunteer with many youth sports activities.
A 1972 WVU graduate, Jim came to Morgantown from Rochester Pa on a scholarship and spent four years on WVU's storied men's track and field team under the leadership of Coach Stan Romanoski.
Jim was a sprinter on the WVU track team. Darlene, his wife wanted to do something special in memory of her husband after his sudden death in May of 2007. That is when the Jim Dunn Memorial Scholarship was founded.
The scholarship was established to support runners and the running sports throughout West Virginia. It will be given each year to a high school senior athlete, who has been accepted to run on a track or cross country team in college.
The scholarship is worth $500 and can be used towards books, housing, tuition, etc.

Howdy Adventure Community!
Are you interested in paint? How about throwing paint? Ever wanted to cover a random stranger with color and not have repercussions? If so, we have a very special and awesome opportunity that may tweak your interest!
Scheduled for this May 11th, Morgantown and the Star City area will be hosting a Color Run to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. This unique paint race not only provides individuals an opportunity to give back to their community, but also leave plastered in color and create great memories.
The organizers of this event are seeking volunteers to not only throw paint, but to also help with registration and clean up. Over 400 individuals have agreed to participate in this years run - driving the need for volunteers high. Adventure WV has chosen to become a sponsor to not only make it a success, but also show our commitment to the community.
If possible, we'd love to have a strong showing for this event and help a great cause. If interested, please contact Cameron Taylor or Ashley McLaughlin for more information. Their contact information, along with needed responsibilities, are located below. Feel free to forward along this message!
We hope to see you there!
