GRAND MARSHAL
We are thrilled to announce that this year's Strides for Shelter Grand Marshal will be Eric Thomas, Chief Meteorologist for WBTV from 1988-2021.
Since retiring at the end of 2021, Eric has fulfilled his dream of returning to the other side of the camera by embarking on his photography and filming exploits. Not long ago, Eric was asked to help tell the story of Home Again Foundation - and after forming a special bond with Rick Gilbert, the Founder, Eric joined the board of directors. By bringing his excitement for Home Again Foundation to the race on October 19, Eric also hopes to spread the word and educate our community on the growing crisis and homeless population in our region.
Thank you for your support of the Strides for Shelter 5K. Since the inception of the Strides for Shelter 5K in 2016, the Canopy Housing Foundation has returned more than $170,000 from the race proceeds to several worthy local beneficiaries who are all working to address the needs of the homeless.
As the sponsoring organization, the Canopy Housing Foundation is the charitable arm of the Canopy Realtor® Association. The Foundation works to create a community where all housing needs are met through advocacy, education, funding and leadership.
