2021 Skinny Turkey
Despite the unusual year we had in 2020, the Third Annual Skinny Turkey 5K/10K Race was a huge success! We were able to donate $9,500 to Second Chance Shelter, increasing the amount from 2019. Doug and Wanda from Second Chance were blown away by the donation. This year, we are excited to announce the Fourth Annual Skinny Turkey 5K/10K Race will take place Saturday, November 20, 2021! This event will benefit Second Chance Shelter. Our Diamond Sponsor, Peoples Independent Bank, presents this event.
What do you know about Second Chance Shelter? They are a non-profit, no-kill dog shelter, right? Essentially, that does describe this organization but they are that and so much more! They have amazing sponsor and foster programs for those who are not interested in adoption. Doug and Wanda McGee started Second Chance Shelter in 2008 and they have grown to house and care for over 250 dogs at a time. Their passion for animals is not only obvious but also infectious. "At Second Chance Shelter our Mission is to find loving and lasting homes for adoptable companion animals."
Give them a call or stop by today to change a dog's life! 256-561-2411
