USE YOUR SNEAKERS TO SUPPORT Our Community
Give your running shoes a second life while supporting The Parade Company–an organization operating exclusively for charitable and educational purposes organizing events such as America’s Thanksgiving Parade presented by Gardner-White and other events in the City of Detroit.
The Turkey Trot also supports the Detroit Mounted Police Division and Michigan Humane, one of the oldest animal welfare nonprofits in the state. By dropping of your sneakers at the race or using our free mail-in bags, you’re helping raise funds that go directly toward supporting our community.
Thank you for making an impact one pair at a time!
