Evansville Rescue Mission to Host Eighth Annual Drumstick Dash to Benefit its 97th Annual Gobbler Gathering
The Evansville Rescue Mission’s seventh annual Drumstick Dash presented by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and TOWNSQUARE MEDIA will kick off Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 8 a.m. It will consist of either an 8K or a 5K mile run/walk.
The Evansville Rescue Mission is tremendously excited to have its eighth annual Drumstick Dash to start and finish at the C.K. Newsome Community Center (100 East Walnut Street, Evansville, IN 47713). Runners and walkers will have the opportunity to run around historic Bosse Field, Garvin Park for the Drumstick Dash’s 8K and 5K routes, with 8K participants being able to briefly run or walk on the Pigeon Creek Greenway.
The Rescue Mission is expecting to field nearly 1,000 runners and walkers for the eighth annual Drumstick Dash where participants will have a chance to win a free frozen turkey and a commemorative Drumstick Dash medal and to choose from a variety of food court options.
Proceeds of the Drumstick Dash will offset the Rescue Mission’s annual Gobbler Gathering, which will be held ten days later on Tuesday, November 26th at the Old National Events Plaza (715 E. Locust St., Evansville, IN 47708) where more than 2,300 Tri-State families will be able to receive a Thanksgiving food basket filled with enough food to last through Thanksgiving.
The Drumstick Dash is extremely grateful for the following sponsors who have entrusted the Evansville Rescue Mission to feed literally thousands of Tri-State families through the Gobbler Gathering: TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Old National Events Plaza, Atlas World Group, TRH Mortgage, Phil Stoll Construction,  Packaging Corporation of America The Hills Church, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, FC Tucker-Briscoe, Berry Global, Deaconess Hospital, Head’s Construction, Solarbron, Old National Bank, Shoe Carnival, Saint Vincent Evansville, 517 Fitness Brewer Direct, Inc., and Zycor Pest Control.
