2025 Jingle Bell Run Corporate Chair & Fundraising Update!

Hello, Friend-

I am honored to share that I have been selected as the 2025 Jingle Bell Run Corporate Chair for the Arthritis Foundation. This incredible event will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the NCAA Hall of Champions and White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis, with an expected attendance of more than 500 participants.

Now in its 41st year, the Jingle Bell Run is one of Indianapolis’s most festive and impactful charity events — featuring 5K and 10K walk/run options along the scenic White River Trail, live entertainment, a visit from Santa, crafts, and an inspiring morning of community spirit.

The Jingle Bell Run isn’t just a race — it’s a movement to fight arthritis, America’s #1 cause of disability. In Indiana alone, more than 1.7 million adults and 7,500 children are living with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Funds raised from this event directly support the Arthritis Foundation’s mission to boldly pursue a cure while championing life-changing research, resources, and community connections.

As the 2025 Jingle Bell Run Corporate Chair, I am committed to raising both awareness and funds to support those living with arthritis and to advance the Foundation’s mission.

I have set a goal of $15,000 for my team .

In order to reach our goal we are looking for 10 more team members this week! https://events.arthritis.org/participants/392188

We are hosting a silent auction on Wednesday Oct 29 at SarahCare of Indy.

See the attached flyer for the details- We would love to have you join us!

We are taking donations through this Friday, October 17. Who do you know that has something to donate?  Email me at jennifer@totherescuein.com asap!

I invite you to join me by making a tax-deductible donation or forming a team to participate in this year’s event. Your support will make a meaningful difference in helping families access care, resources, and hope for a pain-free future.
