About this race
All proceeds raised from the West KY FCA & Edward Jones Turkey Trot will be going directly towards scholarships for students
to attend the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Leadership Camp, at Western Kentucky University.
This is a life changing camp that focuses on how students can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Not only are students mentored by college athletes, they are taught and encouraged to go back to their school
campuses and be leaders for Christ.
