Edison Holds 5K
in Honor of Professor
Edison State Community College’s 5K for a Cause will be held on
Saturday, October 31, 2015, at the Piqua Campus. The race will be held
in remembrance of long-time Edison professor Dawn Hines who passed away
earlier this year.
Edison’s 5K for a Cause is held annually to benefit community members
in need. Proceeds from this year’s race will be donated to the Dawn
Stinson Memorial Fund to benefit her sons’ college education.
Her four sons, Todd Schilling (26), Matthew Schilling (21), Cale
Stinson (13), and Billy Stinson (11) survive her. Todd holds a master’s
degree in Higher Education Administration from the University of Dayton
where he is currently employed as the Coordinator of Veteran Services.
Matthew is currently in his senior year at The Ohio State University
where he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Communication. Cale is in
eighth grade at Troy Junior High where he also plays football and Billy
is a fifth grader at St. Patrick’s Elementary in Troy.
“My mother truly valued education,” said Todd. “She always ensured that
the education of her children came first and would do anything in order
for us to succeed in our hopes and dreams.”
Recently completing 100 classes as an adjunct professor of business,
communications, and marketing, Dawn began her career at Edison in 2000.
“Not only did she value our education, she found a true calling in
higher education by teaching. She always saw the true potential in each
of her students and encouraged them to go for their dreams,” added Todd.
Prior to instructing, Dawn was a student at Edison. “Edison will always
be an extended family to my family and I because that is where my mom
decided to seek her education as a single parent raising two children.
The staff and faculty were so supportive then and it was only fitting
for my mother to teach and give back at Edison.”
“Our family could not be more honored and humbled that Edison has been
so gracious to make my mother’s memorial fund the benefactor of this
race. The proceeds from this race will be used for Cale and Billy’s
education fund.”
Registration begins at 8 a.m., followed by the official start of the
race 9 a.m. Beginning on the East end of Edison’s Piqua Campus, the
five-kilometer race is an out-and-back course, and is run entirely on
pavement.
Those interested in participating can pre-register for the event online
now through October 24 at www.edisonohio.edu/edison5k. Entry fees are
$20 for pre-registered participants and $25 for race day registrations.
Pre-registered participants will receive a free t-shirt and additional
