Turkey Trot – Sponsors Needed!

by Leave a Comment

Calling all potential Turkey Trot Sponsors!  We are $5,500 short of our sponsorship requirement to host the race, so we are hoping to find sponsors at the $500, $1,000, $2500 or $4,000 level.   

These critical funds cover the cost of the race, allowing all proceeds to support our University District Food Bank.  Did you know that the Turkey Trot is the second largest fundraiser for the food bank?  They rely on our community’s generosity to feed neighbors in need.   

Our community is lucky to have committed sponsors year after year.  Café Lago, and now Little Lago, have been generous sponsors from the beginning of the Turkey Trot.  We are also grateful to have Glam and Tonic hair salon, who not only donates but also opens up the space for the Turkey Trot operate.  Stokes Lawrence Law Firm & KHBB Law have Montlake residents who are committed to this special event and continue to support the cause annually.  It’s great to have Graham Construction on board this year, the company contracted to do the 520 Bridge work.  Thank you to all of the sponsors for their generosity.   

Sponsors are highlighted in communications to the runners and community-wide posts, being recognized as a community partner.  For more details see the sponsorship packet here or reach out to turkeytrot@montlake.net.  Thank you for considering sponsorship!
