The Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot is a beloved annual event in Elmhurst, IL, celebrating its 40th year of bringing the community together for a 5K fun run on Thanksgiving Day. What started as a small race with 74 runners has grown into a significant fundraiser, raising nearly $3.9 million dollars to support local organizations that combat hunger in DuPage County. With the participation of thousands of runners and the generous support of sponsors, the Turkey Trot has provided millions of meals to those in need, making a lasting impact on the community.
As a part of The Dan Gibbons Foundation, the Turkey Trot is just one of the many initiatives aimed at helping those in need. The foundation's commitment to addressing hunger extends beyond Thanksgiving, with the addition of other events throughout the year, such as the Caf Liberty culinary skills training program. With the support of dedicated volunteers and donors, The Dan Gibbons Foundation continues to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families facing food insecurity in DuPage County.
