The Daily Bruin

The Bruin Community Pantry is partnering with the Newberg community to host the Great Turkey Fumble 5K Run/1K Walk at Newberg High School on Thursday, Nov. 28 (Thanksgiving Day). The event begins at 8:45 a.m.

This year, we are aiming to break the $10,000 mark of money given to Newberg FISH over the past four years. That doesn’t include the more than 600 pounds of food we have collected over the past three years.

The cost ranges from $23 to $29, and all entries receive a free football and T-shirt. Contact alumnus Brady Mordhurst (brady.mordhorst@gmail.com) for more detailed information on cost.

Volunteers are also needed. If any student or employee would like to volunteer, feel free to reach out to Brady at the above email address.
