Cincinnati, Ohio-based Dewey's Pizza will host its annual "Run to Raise Dough" 5K on Aug. 13. The race benefits Cincinnati Children's Medical Hospital and 1N5, according to a press release.

The race begins and ends at the Dewey's Pizza location in Oakley, Ohio, with an after-party held at Geier Esplanade immediately following the race.

Dewey's Pizza hopes to raise $50,000 for the charities.

"Dewey's has been fortunate enough to serve our community for 25 years. Events like these are what connects us," Chuck Lipp, president at Dewey's Pizza, said in the press release. "Our team is particularly passionate and honored to raise money for mental wellness throughout our community."

To date, Dewey's Pizza has raised $126,000 for local nonprofits with their Run to Raise Dough 5K.

"Since 2010, we have worked to break the stigma of mental health through education and wellness training. Partnering with organizations like Dewey's Pizza and Cincinnati Children's Adapt for Life program allows us to continue our mission," Nancy Eigel-Miller, founder and executive director of 1N5, said in the press release. "We are thankful the team at Dewey's has chosen Cincinnati Children's and 1N5 as the benefactor of this year's race."

Dewey's Pizza is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
