Wow – got a response from Pro Motion Events already! Here's the deets:

“Other than accepting food donations, we do not have a charity for the Gobble in 2009. As a first year event and from experience, we expect the event to lose money or (hopefully) at best break even, which is typical. Hopefully the event will gain momentum in which case we will look at a charity in future years. Considering thre nature of the event and the time of year, we will probably continue with food banks for charities.”

Great question, SW. We've emailed the event promoters and will let you know if we hear anything!

Does the 5K raise funds for a nonprofit organization? Or, is the only donation the canned food? I don't see this information on their website.
