🌳 Support Our Initiatives

Chomp & Stomp supports our park improvements for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for your help! Proceeds from our chili cook-off and the Romp 5k are used to create a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.

🎉 Cabbagetown Initiative Mission

The mission of Cabbagetown Initiative 501c3 is: To Energize Public Spaces! Since 2003, we've raised funds to build playgrounds, pavilions, and picnic areas. Festival proceeds also maintain the Cabbagetown Community Center, Esther Peachy Park, our community garden, and the famous mural walk on Wylie Street - "Forward, Warrior!!"

👏 Community Appreciation

We couldn't have built any of this without y'all! If you hear our neighbors cheering from the sidelines, it's because runners are some of our strongest supporters. The community appreciates your stamina and values your dedication. Keen folks are invited to learn more about our organization at cabbagetown.com, and enthusiastic Rompers are always welcome to make an additional donation to make a bigger impact in the places people gather freely for fun & fellowship.
