Once again we will be suggesting donations for local charities serving individuals in need through the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission and the Portage Community Center. We will be collecting men’s, women’s and children’s socks for the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission, or toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo or a small toy for the child for the Portage Community Center. Participant with the largest donation will receive a special prize. Proceeds from registrations and additional online donations will support the Turkey Trot and the Kalamazoo Area Runners (KAR). Race Day donations may be designated directly to your choice of the 3 benefiting organizations.
