About this Event
Start your Thanksgiving morning with family, friends, and a little fun while giving back! Join us for a casual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot—run, walk, bike, or bring the stroller. All ages and fitness levels are welcome! We're partnering with Gathering Humanity to collect Christmas stocking gifts for vulnerable teens in our community, including homeless youth, refugees, teens experiencing domestic violence, and those in juvenile detention programs. Teenagers are often overlooked during holiday giving, and we want to help change that. Come enjoy a fun morning together while helping these teens feel remembered, valued, and loved this Christmas!
