Cherokee 5K Turkey Strut

The Cherokee 5K Turkey Strut 5K is a benefit for the Vocational Opportunities of Cherokee, Inc.

VOC believes that persons served should always be treated with dignity and respect while having culturally enhanced opportunities, as they become self-sufficient individuals at home and within their community.  VOC offers employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities or barriers to employment through meaningful work while empowering them to reach their fullest potential.

VOC was established in 1973 to provide vocational rehabilitation services to all members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.  In 1985, services were extended to all people in Jackson and Swain Counties.  In 2000, services were expanded to provide work opportunities to adults with barriers to employment.  VOC is a private, NC non-profit corporation governed by a Board of Directors and is an entity of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.  The Year 2026 marks our 53rd year serving individuals with disabilities.

100% of net proceeds raised by the Cherokee 5K Turkey Strut Run/Walk supports their programs.
