Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the Shelter dogs that need more than basic services.

The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured—but otherwise adoptable—dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer group of local individuals who donate their time to the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, the volunteers plan and coordinate fundraising events, marketing and public relations projects and provide accounting and legal guidance. As an all-volunteer group, the organization is able to keep overhead very low, allowing over 95% of donations to help our shelter dogs in need.

This is a celebration of everything that makes Norwood a true gem! It will start at Floral Ave & Washington Ave and showcase the beautiful presidential district of Norwood, including Wasson Way. Since our inception eight years ago, the Gem of the Highlands 5K has donated more than $90,000 in race proceeds. The new basketball courts at Waterworks Park and the dog park at Upper Millcrest Park have received the majority of our funding, but smaller donations have been made to cover mulch, grass seed and other general needs at five Norwood parks in beautification efforts. As a completely volunteer-led organization, we will continue to focus our proceeds and donations on improving Norwood parks again this year. Just as important, we believe we created an event that residents and businesses can unite around with civic pride!

Powell Turkey Trot is back for the 11th YEAR! After a record-breaking 10th anniversary Powell Turkey Trot in 2024, we are so excited to celebrate our 11th Anniversary with Powell and Central Ohio! We could not have put this race on for 11 years without the support from the Powell Community.

TO CELEBRATE 11 YEARS, SWAG is going to be fantastic this year! We will be bringing back the Race Medal this year again as we got a ton of great feedback. Everyone LOVES a great Race Medal. We will continue the tradition of partnering with the local elementary schools to create race magnets designed by the kids.

THE RACE MEDAL:

This year’s medal will be specially designed the 11th-anniversary and we will continue the tradition of partnering with the local elementary schools to create race magnets designed by the kids.

BEER:

We have partnered again with NOCTERRA Brewing Company for an EXCLUSIVE four-pack of fall beers. This four-pack will be available for the first 800 participants over 21, but there are no guarantees after that. For those who miss the deadline, are under 21, or opt out of the four-pack option, we are offering the option of sock swag with our 11-year anniversary design!

SPECIAL TREATS!

We will also continue our tradition with Nothing Bundt Cakes mini-Pumpkin Bundtinies. Not sure who is more excited, the participants or our staff!?!?!

CHARITABLE DONATION:​

Donations will support Bridgeway Academy again this year. Bridgeway is a nonprofit education center serving children and young adults with autism and developmental disabilities.
