THE CAUSE



How Your Registration Makes a Difference
The Cape Fear Habitat Turkey Trot at Wrightsville Beach is an annual fundraiser for Cape Fear Habitat to build homes, communities, and hope in New Hanover, Pender, and Duplin Counties.
Last year, runners raised enough money to build a home for a neighbor in our community. Through an affordable mortgage, families can build strength, stability, and self-reliance.
Thank you for building with us!
