A portion of the race proceeds will benefit the Heartland Church, specifically their benevolence fund. The Heartland Benevolence Fund will help to provide full Thanksgiving dinners for approximately 125 seniors in need in the Lexington area. If there is any money remaining after feeding all of the seniors in need in the community the funds will remain in the benevolence fund. The broader purpose of this fund is intended as a source of last resort, to be sought only when a family or individual requesting assistance from the Heartland Church has explored all other possibilities of help from family, friends, savings, investments, or any other resources. It is intended to be a temporary help during a time of crisis.
