❤️ MORE THAN JUST A 5K. A LEGACY OF LOVE.

Every Thanksgiving, our community comes together for a very special reason.

The Jon Callaghan Memorial Turkey Trot honors the memory of Jon, a Gurnee student who passed away in 1997 after a courageous battle with neuroblastoma.

For 32 years, this Thanksgiving tradition has helped turn remembrance into something meaningful by bringing neighbors together while supporting causes that make a difference.

Proceeds benefit the Jon Callaghan Memorial Fund.

We invite you to be part of this special tradition and help carry Jon's legacy forward. ❤️
