Background and beneficiaries
The Turkey Burn began as a community event created to support a local family after a member was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2011. Past proceeds were used to assist that family’s children. New organizers have continued the event and shifted its focus toward addressing hunger among children in the local community. Proceeds from this edition will go to The Refuge, and organizers state that funds will be allocated to local organizations that help address child hunger. Sponsors and local partners are listed on the event page. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
