HUFFIN FOR STUFFIN TOWNSEND TURKEY TROT
Presented by Big Sky Autism Project & Broadwater County Christmas Connections
Trot for a cause on Thanksgiving Day! Big Sky Autism Project (BSAP) in collaboration with Broadwater County Christmas Connections (BCCC) is hosting the Huffin’ for Stuffin’ Townsend Turkey Trot 5K & Kids Waddle on November 24th at the Watson Event Center – 290 Litening Barn Ln. Thank you to the Watson Family for donating their facility for this event!
BSAP and BCCC are two local nonprofits serving the Townsend community. BSAP provides access to adaptive fitness programs for individuals with Autism and other special needs. They advocate for special needs, provide adaptive fitness workshops for professionals, parents and caregivers, and promote inclusion while raising awareness through community events and fundraisers. Most recently, BSAP hosted the Kids Halloween Costume Contest at Reading Leaves Books and the Many Abilities Fun Run at Heritage Park last April.
BCCC champions all things Christmas for the Townsend area. Every year, BCCC host the Angel Tree which provides gifts for children in need in our community. Those children are assigned a number and the number is placed on the tree for the community to select and buy gifts for – the tree can usually be found at Reading Leaves Books. 78 children received gifts through the Angel Tree in 2022. BCCC also provides holiday dinners for local families as well as presents for parents to select from for their kids. 41 families were provided dinner and 90 children received gifts from the efforts of BCCC in 2022 in addition to the Angel Tree. BCCC volunteers donate an average of 295 hours of their time to make the holidays special for Townsend area families in need.
Come out and support these two amazing nonprofits! Proceeds will be split 50/50 between BSAP & BCCC!
