Event Description
Why: The Trophy Club Emergency Volunteers Association (TCEVA) and Angels Fall Up (AFU), each non-profit organizations, are collaborating with area businesses and community groups to host the inaugural Trophy Club Turkey trot 5k (3.1 mile) on the morning of November 22.
Purpose
- Raise proceeds for cancer research and in support of TCEVA goals
- Create a fun community event that brings family and friends together
- Showcase the beautiful community of Trophy Club
The Trophy Club Emergency Volunteers Association mission is to support and assist the Trophy Club Police (TCPD) and Fire Departments (TCFD), promote public awareness and education by serving as ambassadors of the TCPD and TCFD to the public and to other agencies, and promote a safe environment for First Responders and Residents through service and activities.
Angels Fall Up was incorporated as a non-profit entity in 2012, organized and operated to raise support and awareness for the fight against cancer undertaken by the ‘cutting edge’ UT Southwestern Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Institute in Dallas. AFU is dedicated to (1) nurturing a local-local-local cancer-fighting partnership for north Texas, (2) a vision for a world free of cancer, (3) a 4-fold mission (i.e. to increase funding for cancer research and for treatment, to honor those we lost, to celebrate survivors, and support caregivers) and (4) a simple goal of less angels ‘falling up’ to cancer.
