On this 3 mile, easy-paced book club run, we explore several of the institutions and public places funded by Ellen Browning Scripps’ philanthropy. It wasn’t until 1900, when she was 61 years old, that she moved to La Jolla and would begin her philanthropic endeavors. The New York Times estimates she gave over $44 million in 2023 dollars before she died in 1932. A champion of many causes, Scripps funded institutions to support women’s education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education. During the route for this Read & Run on the Road event, created and led by Chelsey Stone, we’ll stop at several different locations Ellen Browning Scripps funded and finish for a post-run discussion with historian Carol Olten at the La Jolla Historical Society.
