ROANOKE, Va. ( WFXR ) – The Drumstick Dash is a way for everyone, regardless of their athletic abilities, to move their feet so others can eat. Even local insurance agencies can get involved.
HAWK Advisers Incorporated is located in downtown Roanoke, not too far away from where the starting line is for the Drumstick Dash. Each year, the agency gets at least one of its employees to compete in the dash, as its way of helping to make a difference.
“One of our core values that we have as a company is to give back, and we look for opportunities to do that within the community,” Stephen Hamilton, the Executive Vice President of HAWK, said. “When there’s a race right outside your front door, it’s a great opportunity for us to talk to our team and see if families want to get involved.”
For Hamilton, this year’s dash will be the fourth one he plans to compete in. This one looks to be extra special for him because he’s racing alongside his two children for the first time.
