Don’t miss the annual Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning! Some 9,000 runners and walkers will gather at the starting line to burn off calories and raise money to help the hungry and needy. To date, the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot has raised over $3.5 million dollars and takes care to keep all funds raised within the County of DuPage. The funds have provided nearly 4 million meals over the years and the event brings families and a community together on a day for giving thanks. The Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot is pleased to benefit numerous organizations including Dupage Pads, United Community Concerns Association, People’s Resource Center, West Suburban Community Pantry, Loaves & Fishes Community Services, and Catholic Charities – DuPage County.
