HOW YOUR REGISTRATION HELPS
The Wrightsville Beach Turkey Trot raises money for Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity. Each year, runners donate enough money to build a house for a neighbor in our community.  Seeking to put God’s love into action, Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Through an affordable mortgage, families have the opportunity to build strength, stability, and self-reliance.
