Supporters and Friends:
We have made the difficult decision to cancel what would be our 20th annual TFAE 5K Run For Excellence and Food Fest on May 9, 2020 due to COVID-19 virus. We will be reaching out to our volunteers, sponsors, food partners, and race participants directly in the coming weeks. We are disappointed but feel it is the right call for all involved.
As TFAE’s only major fundraiser (and Main Street’s longest running event), we take great pride in bringing our community this wonderful event each year. However, we don’t do it alone. We rely on 300+ volunteers, 30+ local business sponsors, and 40+ local restaurants and non-profit organizations to donate their time and resources to help bring this event to life. In light of recent events, we felt it was best to take a pause to allow and encourage these folks to take care of themselves, their families, and their businesses.
Luckily, your past participation in our events, your donations to our endowment, and your continued partnerships and support allow us to still provide our grant program to local public school teachers, books to local children through the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and more this year.
Now, it’s our turn to do our part in keeping our community safe, healthy, and thriving. Please continue to wash your hands, consider donating to a local non-profit organization, and remember to patron local businesses and restaurants. We can't wait to be back next year and throw one heck of a party!
