Dewey’s Pizza to Host 'Run to Raise Dough' 5K on August 13

On Sunday, August 13, Dewey’s Pizza will host their annual “Run to Raise Dough” 5K, benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Medical Hospital and 1N5. Runners and walkers of all ages are encouraged to participate. The race will start and end at the Dewey’s Pizza in Oakley. Runners and the community at large can enjoy an after-party at Geier Esplanade immediately following the race, including Dewey’s beloved pepperoni, cheese, and breakfast pizzas. The after party will also include a variety of family-friendly activities. In 2023, Dewey’s Pizza hopes to raise $50,000 for mental health, benefiting Cincinnati Children’s and 1N5. Funds raised will help prevent suicide by erasing the stigma around mental health and promoting optimal wellness.

Dewey’s Run to Raise Dough 5K race will start at 9:00 AM with an after-party until noon in the Geier Esplanade located in front of the Dewey’s Oakley location at 3014 Madison Road. 1N5 and Cincinnati Children’s Adapt for Life will also be onsite to celebrate and share more about their mission of mental health. The family-friendly party will feature face painting by Boundless Beauty, DJs from Q102, The Social Collective LLC, HOIST, Orangetheory Rookwood, Scarlet Begonia’s flower truck, and brews from Braxton Brewing Company. Plus, Dewey’s Pizza will have their exclusive breakfast pizza only available at the Run to Raise Dough 5K.
