About the Event

All proceeds raised from the West KY FCA & Edward Jones Turkey Trot will be going directly towards scholarships for students
to attend the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Leadership Camp, at Western Kentucky University.

This is a life changing camp that focuses on how students can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Not only are students mentored by college athletes, they are taught and encouraged to go back to their school
campuses and be leaders for Christ.

About Paducah

Learn more about the host city, Paducah.

Paducah is a small city on the Ohio River about midway between St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee. The county seat of McCracken County and the largest city in the Jackson Purchase area of western Kentucky, Paducah has a booming riverfront restaurant trade and arts scene in part driven by the city's artist relocation program which offers interest-free housing loans and other subsidies for established artists willing to relocate. Paducah is the hometown of humorist Irvin Cobb and former Vice President Alben Barkley. Fans of contemporary Christian music will know it as the hometown of Steven Curtis Chapman, one of that genre's most iconic artists.
