TWRA to Help Sponsor Hunters Run for the Hungry at Henry Horton State Park

 

Proceeds from the 5K and 10K runs will benefit the Hunters for the Hungry which is a program of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation. The cost to participate is $40 for pre- registration which covers the run and a T-shirt. On the day of the event, the cost is $45 to participate in the race. All entry fees are tax deductible.

 

The entry fee must be submitted with the completed registration form. Pre registration can be made by mail or in person at the Henry Horton State Park-Inn. For further information, contact Karen Moore at Henry Horton, telephone (931) 364-2222, ext. 255. Registration and check-in for the participants will be on Sept. 18 from 6-6:45 a.m. at the Henry Horton State Park swimming pool parking lot.

 

The Hunters for the Hungry program’s mission is to motivate the generosity of Tennessee’s sportsmen and women by gathering harvested venison and giving it to hunger relief programs that benefit men, women and children across Tennessee.

In Marshall County alone, hunters’ donations generated more than 3,000 pounds of meat to feed families in 2009. All entry fees will be directed to the processing fees of the harvested deer that are donated and processed for the hungry in Marshall County.
