Drumstick Dash raises money to feed the homeless
San Fernando Valley’s Thanksgiving Day Drumstick Dash raises money to feed the homeless
“Move your feet so others can eat.”
That’s the slogan for Hope the Mission’s ninth annual Drumstick Dash to raise money to feed the homeless.
Nearly 10,000 people – about 7,500 runners and 2,000 cheering onlookers – gathered in North Hollywood on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28, for 5K and 10K runs through the NoHo Arts District. Organizers billed the annual fundraiser as the largest Thanksgiving 5K/10K run in Los Angeles County.
The event, which organizers pulled off with the assistance of over 200 volunteers, also included a “Lil’ Gobblers race,” a costume contest, prizes and free giveaways, and a live DJ.
