The 1st Annual Smiles Change Lives Turkey Trot was a huge success!
With the money raised on Thanksgiving, the
We exceeded all expectations with nearly 600 participants. The overwhelming response was so gratifying, but also taught us some valuable lessons
that will help us make future races a better experience for everyone. We have a lot of great ideas.
Congratulations to everyone who ran or walked. Thank you so much for making the decision, on Thanksgiving morning, to be a part of something great. By coming together with others and helping those less fortunate, you have shown what Thanksgiving is all about. We appreciated everyone’s patience and kindness. We hope everyone had a terrific experience.
Once again we want to thank our volunteers. Everyone stepped up and performed beyond our expectations. Brendan and Mike of Sayville Running Company were amazing both in providing help with race preparation and with race day improvising. We would also like to thank everyone who helped out anonymously, by picking up trash or directing fellow runners and answering questions.
With Gratitude,
Frank & Christine Egan
