The Hot2Trot and Kids Run proceeds support public safety and our broader community. Over the event’s history, we have contributed more than $100,000 to supplement public safety initiatives. In 2023, we purchased a thermal imaging camera; in 2024, funds supported drone imaging; in 2025, we helped purchase firefighter training equipment; and in 2026, we funded the entire drone program. We are proud to support the our fire, police, and EMS services, who work every day to keep our community safe. We have also given back to the Monona Grove School District boosters, helping extend the event’s impact throughout our community.
