In Memory of Theron Rogerson
Thrive For Theron
Welcome to Thrive for Theron, a 501(c)(3). ThriveForTheron.com, was established so that the memory and story of Theron Rogerson may be a blessing to others. Theron was a beloved son, brother, and friend, who seemingly had it together, loved life, and loved making people happy and laugh. His freshman year at MVNU tested Theron with courses tougher than he expected and a track season that wasn’t as successful as he wanted. Those disappointments were amplified with a relationship that was breaking apart. On May 13th, 2022, a few hours after the breakup became final, we lost Theron to suicide.
Our platform is dedicated to commemorating Theron's legacy so that others might avoid this nightmare. We do this through various initiatives aimed at fostering mental health awareness and support. Through a scholarship program, a symbolic 5K run, and a commitment to suicide prevention advocacy, ThriveForTheron.com endeavors to honor Theron's memory by uplifting others in their journey towards wellness and resilience. Join us in celebrating Theron's life and perpetuating his legacy of hope, kindness, and perseverance.

The Theron Rogerson Scholarship

The recipient should be a person, like Theron, who has a strong work ethic and is encouraging and supportive to his teammates. Theron was a 2021 graduate of Granville High School, and he was a wonderful son, brother, and friend to many. He brought joy and laughter to us throughout his life and we want his memory to be a blessing, so that others are aware of suicide risks and prevention.
