UPDATE: We regret that due to high demand, we are unfortunately out of aprons. Turkeys and tofurkeys are still available.
Vanderbilt’s annual Turkey Toss, at which all employees may pick up a free turkey, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 14. New this year, a limited number of signature Vanderbilt aprons—a few of which have surprises inside—will be available to choose in lieu of a turkey.
