The Thankful 5k is more than just a race; itβs an opportunity to come together as a community in support of important scholarships and foundations that empower students pursuing higher education.

Embrace the spirit of gratitude and togetherness this November by joining us for a day filled with purpose, positivity, and community spirit!
Organiser's Description
The Thankful 5k's name is inspired by the handmade "Thankful" sign that Casey kept above her bed. After Casey passed away in 2012, her sisters in Alpha Phi held the first Thankful 5k in honor of her uncanny ability to inspire kindness and gratitude. The race now also honors Shelley, whom our chapter lost a year later. "Thankful" represents how Casey approached the world with positivity and interest and the spirit of our chapter's annual celebration of her and Shelley's lasting legacies.
