Support Us

Help support local families in need while becoming part of a Thanksgiving tradition .

The Gratitude Run is made possible by local businesses, organizations, and community partners who believe in supporting families during life’s most difficult seasons.

Whether you’re interested in sponsoring the event, contributing resources, supporting a Hero Family, or partnering with us in another meaningful way, your involvement directly helps strengthen the impact we’re able to create together.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 in corporate and foundation support in 2026 - enabling us to serve more families than ever before.

Below, you’ll find opportunities to support the Gratitude Run and become part of a community effort that continues changing lives year after year.

We believe the strongest communities are built when people, businesses, schools, and organizations come together to support one another.

Community Partnerships

The Gratitude Run has always been bigger than a single event. It’s a community effort powered by people and organizations who believe no family should have to face hardship alone.

Our partnerships take many forms - from financial support and in-kind donations to volunteer teams, local business involvement, schools, churches, and community organizations choosing to stand behind this mission.

No matter the size or type of support, every partnership helps create meaningful impact for local Hero Families and strengthens a tradition rooted in compassion, generosity, and community.
