THE PACK FAMILY FOUNDATION
The Thompson Family
Join us this year as we support The Thompson Family. Cole Thompson suffered a STEMI (more commonly referred to as a Widow Maker heart attack) on June 4, 2025. He succumbed to his injury on June 18, 2025 - leaving behind his wife, Niki, and their young children, Tagg (6) and Troop (5). Cole was a lifelong resident of Aledo. He was a productive, supportive, and generous member of our community. His impact will be greatly missed! The family faces a journey full of change and unknowns without their sole provider. The funds will be used to cover medical costs of Cole’s care not covered by their insurance, as well as, future needs of their children such as medical, educational, and daily living expenses. Also, it is Niki’s hope to pay funds forward to worthy causes that benefit the greater good in Cole’s memory. Niki says she is so thankful and humbled to be the recipient this year. After being on the Trot committee from day one, she has witnessed lives changed through the generosity of our community and she is overwhelmed with gratitude to be one of them!
Please REGISTER by November 1, 2025. We cannot guarantee you a t-shirt if received after this deadline. Late registration will begin on November 2, 2025 and run until 8:30am on Thanksgiving Morning.
The Aledo Thanksgiving Trot began with an idea that was shared between a mother and a son - wouldn't it be nice to have our own Fort Worth Turkey Trot in Aledo and let this race benefit a need in our own community. Our mission each year is to provide financial support to a member of our community who needs assistance in meeting their needs.
“The blessing is ours - we’re blessed to live in a great community that supports good causes!!”
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the measure of our Thanksgiving.”
