Drumstick Dash

Thank you to all who came to be a part of the family–friendly event that was voted Roanoke’s BEST fundraiser in The Roanoker Magazine!

Whether you ran or walked or watched, your Thanksgiving Day got off to a great start knowing you “moved your feet so others can eat!”

move your feet so others can eat!

On Thanksgiving morning in 2009, we had 7,582 runners, walkers, strollers, volunteers and well-behaved dogs participating in the StellarOne Drumstick Dash 5K Run & Family Walk. This event has quickly become Roanoke’s biggest family reunion with families coming from all over the United States.

Drumstick Dash 2009 Highlights

Fast facts from the 2009 event:

Families from 36 different states came together last year to make this the largest race in the region and Roanoke’s biggest family reunion
The route was held in beautiful downtown Roanoke ending at the historic Farmer’s Market – this is the one event and the one day that downtown streets can be closed for an event of this size
24 groups of musicians performed along the route for the enjoyment of the runners and walkers
65 corporate sponsors, churches and media partners provided financial support and in-kind donations to make the StellarOne Drumstick Dash possible.
Over $150,000 was raised from the Drumstick Dash
Funds raised provided food and safe shelter for an average of 366 people each night at the Rescue Mission. All proceeds from the StellarOne Drumstick Dash benefit The Rescue Mission.

Your gift really counts because the Rescue Mission does not accept Federal, State or City funds.
