Turkey Derby raised $20,000 for local charities

Published 10:22 am Thursday, December 1, 2016

The Hillsdale Sunrise Rotary Club held its 5th Annual Turkey Derby 5K on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Bermuda Run Country Club.

This year’s race raised more than $20,000 for local charities.  Sponsors Handy & Handy Orthodontics, Wake Forest Baptist Health Davie Medical Center and Silver Sponsor Advanced Oral & Facial Surgery were on hand with information tents, giveaways, coffee, and doughnuts the morning of the race.

Many of the runners in this 5K race were first time runners from the GO Far Clubs at Shady Grove, Cooleemee and Mocksville elementary, and Ellis and South Davie middle schools. Eleanor Fuller, one of the Go Far coaches, said: “I think the most important thing for the kids is the sense of accomplishment that they feel when they finish the 5K. All of the 10 weeks of training culminates in that moment, no one can run those steps for them, they have to do it and push through when it’s hard or they want to give up.

“No matter what that child may encounter going forward in their lives, they will have learned perseverance & self-confidence. The impact of that really cannot be measured,” Fuller said.

Proceeds benefit several local programs including Backpack Buddies programs throughout Davie County Schools, a program that provides non-perishable food items to students to provide nourishment through the weekend; Davie County GO FAR Clubs, which promotes physical activity, healthy eating, and good character; Davie County Homebound Meals, which provides nourishment for senior citizens, as well as other worthy charity projects in the area.

One of the main benefits of this race is that all proceeds from the raise go will go to local charities.

The 5th Annual Turkey Derby was a success due to sponsors and help for volunteers.  Some of the volunteers include Davie High National Honor Society, Davie Early College Interact Club, the Surf Board, and the Mocksville Rotary Club. Terrie Knight was the emcee for her fifth year being a part of this event.

The top three men and women racers were awarded $100, $50, and $25 gift cards respectively. In the male category Garrett Price was the winner followed by Kyle Breier, and Chad Roberts.  Emerson Frantz led the females, followed by Kaitlyn Hutchins, and Robin Mace.

The Hillsdale Sunrise Rotary Club, whose motto is “Service above self”, meets every other Thursday morning at 7 at Bermuda Village. The club strives to make a difference in the world globally through End Polio Now, clean water projects, and humanitarian service. They strive to make a difference locally through hunger projects for youth and elderly, health and fitness projects, and scholarships.
