Michelle's Memorial 5k proceeds benefit the Michelle A. Bewley Scholar Athlete Award. The accolade is given each year to a graduating senior at Royalton-Hartland Central High School who maintains a 90-plus average during his or her high school career, has participated in three sports each year, and in the music department. The awardee consistently displays courage, leadership, respect and a constant drive to better classmates and the school through efforts in academic, music and athletic programs.

Bewley graduated with the Royalton-Hartland Class of 1994. During her years in Roy-Hart, she was a member of the field hockey, swimming and track teams, as well as a member of student government, National Honor Society, the school orchestra and chorus, and countless other organizations, committees and groups. She was a relentless multitasker who loved every minute of it. She gave every bit of herself to her family, friends, classmates, teammates and co-workers.

Bewley was taken suddenly Jan. 6, 2006, as a result of a car accident.
