This is a Thanksgiving-season 5K in McHenry that doubles as a fundraiser. The Kiwanis Club channels proceeds toward a handful of local nonprofits, including an animal-assisted therapy farm, an autism education center, and a family and youth support organization. The race has a giving-back purpose baked into it, not bolted on after the fact.
