This year marks the Ninth Annual Turkey Run in Peekskill, New York ran by The Quiet Man Public House! This is a fun-run where frozen turkey’s are donated to fill the freezers of CHOP (Caring for the Homeless of Peekskill), a local organization with the goal of eliminating hunger in Peekskill.
This is a fun event and a great way to give back to your local community!
Grab your friends, neighbors and co-workers and form a team! Costumes are encouraged! Burn off some extra calories before the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy camaraderie, food, beverage and fun! All ages welcomed!
Admission is a frozen turkey which you will have to strap to your body or carry during the “run”-creativity is encouraged. All turkeys will be donated to CHOP and handed out to locals in need for Thanksgiving.
All proceeds (turkeys) benefit CHOP, whose mission is to alleviate hunger and homelessness in our community by providing temporary housing for homeless adults, and by referring clients to appropriate agencies in order to help them attain independent living.
