Scott McDowell, an avid runner, was a native of New Richmond and an employee of Paycor, Inc. He tragically passed away from a heart condition at the age of 31. During his employment with Paycor, Scott played a key role on the company’s management team. He was a great friend to all, bringing humor and integrity to everything with which he was involved. Those who knew him were aware of his pride for his hometown of New Richmond,  so Paycor teamed with the Boys & Girls Club in this 5K Run and Fitness Walk in his memory.
SSG Paul Brondhaver, recipient of 4 Army Commendation medals, the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Valor for his service in the United States Army, who was also a class mate and swim-team mate of Scott’s will be this year’s honorary Master of Ceremonies.
