Southwick House extended its thanks this weekend to participants in the annual Turkey Day Dash, a Thanksgiving morning fun run that drew families, children, costumed runners and competitive athletes.

Organizers said the event was a success, noting that all proceeds will support ongoing efforts to build a shelter and restore transitional housing for Emporia and surrounding communities.

Southwick House also recognized Gravel City Roasters for opening early to accommodate volunteers and runners and for its continued support of the organization.

The event is expected to return next Thanksgiving.
