Charity / Donations
Every runner, walker, and community member has a story—and ours started with bringing people together around classic southern food, and Fried Chicken. Before race day, you can choose to donate to a worthy cause or an organization whose story speaks to you. Your donation helps support and uplift our community. The Fried Chicken Festival (FCF) brings together food, music, family, culture and—new this year—a healthy 5K run or walk, followed by a vibrant community post-race party. Since our founding in 2016 we have helped dozens of small, independently owned chefs and restaurants grow through the exposure received at our festival, and now our step towards integrating our cultural love of food, while balancing the need for health and wellness if our newest frontier. We are grateful for your participation in the 5k, and if you feel so compelled to chip in an extra $10 or more to help advance the mission of the National Fried Chicken Festival of bringing diverse groups of people together around a common love of food, while supporting small businesses, we would appreciate your support!
