ROANOKE, Va. – The countdown is on for the Drumstick Dash.
The Thanksgiving Day 5K and family walk is back in downtown Roanoke this year.
It’s a way to get into the holiday spirit, exercise, and raise money for a great cause.
All proceeds benefit the Roanoke Rescue Mission.
“We are going to have the event that we look forward to all year long,” Kevin Berry, Event Manager for Drumstick Dash said. “We’re expecting thousands of people downtown. We’re just really excited.”
The nonprofit typically serves more than 200,000 meals a year to those in need.
