This Thanksgiving, Summers was proud to be a part of the Drumstick Dash! Summers was one of the event sponsors and some of our employees contributed to the event by manning the water station.

More than 16,000 people come out for this Thanksgiving morning charity run put on by Wheeler Mission, a ministry dedicated to helping Indiana’s homeless.

Nearly 2,000 people in Central Indiana are homeless, and donations raised by Drumstick Dash participants go directly toward providing meals to the area’s homeless. This year, the dash raised more than $21,000 – the equivalent of more than 9,000 meals!

At Summers, we love opportunities to give back to and benefit our community. Being a sponsor and volunteering at the 2014 Drumstick Dash was one way we were able to do that.

From everyone at the Summers team, happy holidays and have a great week!
