Fire Pits: Gather ’round the warmth and share stories and make S’mores.
Food and Drinks: Fuel up with delicious treats from Kona Ice and Community BBQ
Push-Up Challenge: Every race entry includes free entry into this fun challenge. Big prizes to the winners!

The Cause:
Proceeds from the Coach English Trail Run will support two vital initiatives:
The Coach English Scholarship: An annual scholarship in Coach English’s name, benefiting a Cherokee County High School graduate pursuing a degree in Physical Education or a health-related field.
The Varsity Jacket Program: Ensuring that every student-athlete, regardless of financial circumstances, can proudly wear their varsity jacket.

Mark your calendars, lace up your shoes, and let’s run for a purpose. Together, we’ll ignite the spirit of community and make a lasting impact!

Annual Christmas Tree Burn
and Chili Cookoff

Every year, our community comes together for an unforgettable event—the Christmas Tree Burn and Chili Cookoff. This year, we gathered 800 trees to fuel a roaring fire that
warmed our hearts and raised funds for the Building Fires Varsity Jacket program. As live music filled the air, families and friends huddled around a huge firepit, sharing stories
and laughter. Not one, but three burn piles illuminated the night, symbolizing our commitment to supporting student-athletes. And as the flames danced, the aroma of
simmering chili wafted through the crowd. It’s more than an event; it’s a tradition that ignites community spirit and pride. Join us next year as we continue to build brighter
futures!

Building Fires
Matching Campaign

Your generosity can go twice as far. For every dollar you donate, it will be matched dollar for dollar, up to our goal of $20,000. This means we have the potential to raise a total of $ 40,000! Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of student athletes and our community.
