BRAEMAR 2026 ANNUAL 5K TURKEY TROT

This years Braemar Turkey Trot charity is The Sweet Julia Grace Foundation. The Sweet Julia Grace Foundation (SJGF) was founded in 2014, and is based in Bristow, VA. SJGF was founded by Sara Knight in honor of Sara and Jason Knight’s daughter Julia, who passed away in 2013 due to complications of a rare disease called I-cell. Julia lived 12 beautiful years inspiring everyone who knew her, read about her, and loved her. Despite the storms she faced, Julia learned how to “Dance In The Rain.” She lived in the moment, made life SWEET, and filled hearts with JOY…just by being her. Their mission is to bless, celebrate, and love children who are medically fragile, have complex special/medical needs, or are currently facing a medical crisis. They grant wishes that bring joy and change lives, fill in gaps other services are unable to fill, and provide support with day-to-day needs for families going through the unimaginable with their child. The gifts provided bring comfort and happiness; and oftentimes dramatically improve and change children’s lives. They call the children they serve raindancers! So this year let's help support as many raindancers as we can through our Annual Turkey Trot.
