Fishers YMCA Wishbone 5K / The Tradition Continues
The Wishbone 5K Run/Walk is an annual Thanksgiving event for the entire community. This year we’re celebrating 15 years of families coming together for a morning of fitness and fun.
Leashed dogs and strollers are welcome along the route but, in the interest of safety, we ask that these participants start near the back of their corrals.
Why Participate?
- Signature Event: The Wishbone 5K is the Fishers YMCA’s signature event for the Annual Campaign.
- Community Impact: Helps to subsidize memberships, programs, summer camp, and before/after school care.
- Fundraising Success: Since 2011, nearly $570,000 has been raised to ensure that no one is sent away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay.
- Community Participation: More than 13,300 participants have grown the Wishbone 5K into the premier Thanksgiving run in our community.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
- Annual Campaign: Your participation allows us to grow the reach of the Fishers YMCA Annual Campaign.
- Support for Families: Helps respond to the crucial needs of families from our community.
- Financial Assistance: More than one in every four members and one in every five program participants receive financial assistance.
- Community Reach: We can assist more than 7,000 local families each year.
