START YOUR HOLIDAYS ON THE RIGHT FOOT!
Join us for our annual 5K Run/2.5K walk


Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot for Hospice
A Thanksgiving Tradition That Supports Our Community
Each Thanksgiving morning, our community comes together to run, walk, celebrate loved ones, and support the mission of Helios Care.
The Turkey Trot is more than a race. It is one of Helios Care’s most important annual fundraisers, helping us continue programs and services that are not reimbursed but are deeply needed throughout our community.
Your Participation Changes Lives
Every registration, donation, and fundraising page helps Helios Care provide comfort, guidance, education, and connection to local individuals and families.
Funds raised through the Turkey Trot help support:
- Children’s Bereavement Camp, offering healing, friendship, and hope to children coping with the death of someone they love
- Grief support groups for individuals and families navigating loss
- Caregiver support groups that provide encouragement, education, and connection
- Community education on caregiving, grief, advance care planning, serious illness, and other important topics
These programs are not fully covered through traditional reimbursement. They are made possible through the generosity of our community.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, donate, or fundraise online, you are helping ensure that these meaningful services remain available to those who need them.

Every Gift Stays Local
Your support helps Helios Care continue providing compassionate programs and services to people in our community—often at no cost to the individuals and families who participate.
Together, we can help ensure that no one faces serious illness, caregiving, grief, or loss alone.
