Pleasanton North Rotary continued its annual fundraiser, the Tri-Valley Turkey Burn Family Fun Run, with coronavirus-conscious changes over Thanksgiving weekend, generating more than $7,000 with 225 registrants to support local youth services and COVID-19 relief efforts.

Participants were encouraged to pledge money and walk or run on their own, or with their immediate family members, all while keeping to COVID-19 safety protocols.

“It was hard to predict what it would be like to go virtual, but we still had a lot of positive feedback from our runners and walkers. The spirit of the Turkey Burn lived on,” said Michael Cherman, organizing committee chair.
