Evansville, IN — Lace up your running shoes and grab your friends and family — the Evansville Rescue Mission’s annual Drumstick Dash 5K returns this Saturday, November 8, bringing the community together for a morning of fun, fitness, and giving back! Whether you’re running for time or walking for enjoyment, every step you take helps make Thanksgiving brighter for families in need.
All proceeds from the Drumstick Dash directly support the annual Gobbler Gathering, where the Evansville Rescue Mission will distribute 2,500 food boxes, each weighing approximately 70 pounds, to local families in need. That’s a total of 175,000 pounds of food — enough to provide a proper Thanksgiving meal for more than 10,000 people across our community.
“The Drumstick Dash is such a fun way to unite the community around a shared purpose, ” said
Tracy Gorman, President/CEO of the Evansville Rescue Mission.
“Every mile completed and every registration received helps us put food on tables and hope in hearts this Thanksgiving season.
