Turkey Sightings

Meet Trotter!

Hi! I'm Trotter, the official mascot of the Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K. I may only be two years old (born in 2013), but this event I am representing has been in Central Maryland for over 20 years!

I spend my days spreading smiles and news about the Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K in hopes of raising more money than last for the Y's Give Every Child a Chance campaign. This campaign provides financial assistance towards Y programs and services to those who can’t otherwise afford a Y experience. The end result strengthens our whole community.

• Every child that enters the world more skilled, knowledgeable, confident and self-aware is on their way to becoming another contributing and well-balanced adult member of society. 
• Every adult who feels healthier and more connected to their community, in turn will help others do the same. 
• Every parent who feels the support of their community, most often are gladly and willingly motivated to support their neighbor. 

The Y gives back what you give to the Y. It's a virtuous cycle of goodness that reaps exponential rewards today and for generations to come and I could not be happier to be part of this cause and campaign!

Follow me on Facebook and Twitter and post pictures of any sightings with me!
