Supported by foundations, corporations and individuals, Denver’s Road Home is a partnership between the City and County of Denver and Mile High United Way to end homelessness in 10 years.

In this time of need, more than $100,000 will go to the metro Denver community thanks to the 7,600 runners and walkers who participated this morning in Mile High United Way’s largest fundraiser on Thanksgiving Day.

Presented by Qwest, the Turkey Trot benefits Mile High United Way’s investment in three life-changing initiatives: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency.

“It was an amazing show of the collective generosity of our community to see so many people come out on Thanksgiving morning,” said Christine Benero, Mile High United Way president and CEO. “Especially during this critical time when so many families are struggling just to make ends meet right here at home. What happened here today will make a big difference for those families and for all of us.”
