About Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities

The first event of its kind in the nation, the idea for Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities came from an anonymous couple that has so far provided $7.5 million in matching funds over fifteen years to encourage local philanthropy. Through the event, organized annually by the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, the community has raised nearly $83 million to benefit local charities. Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities 2011 raised over $7.75 million for 200 local nonprofits with 3,400 people running, walking or wheeling in the event. Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities 2012 will be held on September 8 at the Jackson Town Square. We hope you can join us!
