24th annual ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot coming up on Thanksgiving Day
New categories added this year: Fastest Team, Largest Fundraiser
Two new categories have been added to the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot this year: Fundraising Challenge and Fastest Team Challenge. There are three team categories: corporate, family, and friends. Both individuals and teams may enter the Fundraising Challenge, and multi-member groups only may enter the Fastest Team Challenge.
Top fundraising teams and individuals will earn a place in the VIP corral at the front of the pack on the morning of the TCS Turkey Trot as well as a photo opp with the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot mascots before the run. Top fundraisers will be announced the night before the event, Wednesday, Nov. 26, at 6 p.m. on the ThunderCloud Subs’ website, Facebook, and Twitter.
“We’ve had many people ask how they could raise additional money for Caritas, and now we have an easy and fun way to do that: the Fundraising Challenge. It’s a win-win for everyone,” says Haggerty.
The money raised at the event each year helps Caritas achieve their mission, according to Jo Kathryn Quinn, executive director of Austin.
“For more than two decades, ThunderCloud Subs has shown an incredible commitment to ending poverty in Austin. The money raised helps Caritas of Austin feed, house, educate, and employ thousands of Austinites who are experiencing poverty and homelessness,” Quinn says.
