Smilin' Rylen Run

Join us Saturday, April 25, 2026 as we come together to celebrate Rylen and Organ Donation! Rylen, who was always smiling, quickly earned the name Smilin' Rylen. Rylen earned his angel wings on June 5, 2017, at only 13.5 months old, after a battle with Bacterial Meningitis. Little but Mighty, Rylen did not leave this earth untouched. Thanks to the medical advances in organ donation, Rylen was able to save 5 lives. We remember Rylen with everything ORANGE, a color of happiness! Our Mission at The Smilin' Rylen Foundation is to raise awareness about organ donation and to assist families in crisis. The Cowan Family would like to THANK YOU from the bottom of their hearts for your generous contributions and continued support! Please join us in celebrating his life and the lives of those he saved!
