Old Bill's 2025 Kicks Off With a Splash

Dur­ing the fifth-annu­al Rub­ber Ducky Regat­ta, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion will send 200+ rub­ber ducks — each rep­re­sent­ing an Old Bill’s non­prof­it — rac­ing down Flat Creek with sup­port from Teton Coun­ty Search & Rescue’s Swift­wa­ter Res­cue team. The luck­i­est ducks will win grant prizes for their non­prof­its. This fam­i­ly-friend­ly kick­off event is free and open to the entire com­mu­ni­ty. Cos­tumes and non­prof­it spir­it are high­ly encouraged. 

By donat­ing through Old Bill’s dur­ing the Giv­ing Sea­son, the impact of each des­ig­nat­ed gift is ampli­fied through par­tial match­ing grants fund­ed by Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, CoChal­lengers and Friends of the Match. 

Each year, 1 in 3 Teton Coun­ty house­holds donate through Old Bill’s Fun Run. Donors are moti­vat­ed by the spir­it of gen­eros­i­ty and a shared com­mit­ment to strength­en­ing our community. 

When the Giv­ing Sea­son opens, it’s easy to give! Vis­it old​bills​.org, select your favorite non­prof­its, choose your dona­tion amount and make one tax-deductible gift to the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion for the total amount. Every gift, large or small, con­tributes to a pow­er­ful col­lec­tive impact. 

There are many ways to par­tic­i­pate in the Giv­ing Sea­son — vol­un­teer­ing, cheer­ing on your favorite non­prof­it and attend­ing an event are all ways to show sup­port for the community. 

The Old Bill’s Giv­ing Sea­son ends on Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 12 at 5PM. In 2024, the event raised $23.4 mil­lion for Teton Coun­ty non­prof­its. Over 23,000 gifts were made by more than 4,000 donors. Since 1997, Old Bill’s has raised an incred­i­ble $280 mil­lion for local nonprofits.

About Old Bill’s Fun Run 

One of the most inno­v­a­tive and suc­cess­ful phil­an­thropic ini­tia­tives in the coun­try, Old Bill’s Fun Run began 29 years ago when a gen­er­ous cou­ple — fond­ly known as Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill — envi­sioned a col­lab­o­ra­tive fundrais­er to sup­port local nonprofits. 

Since its incep­tion, Old Bill’s has gen­er­at­ed over $280 mil­lion for Teton Coun­ty non­prof­its. These funds sup­port every­thing from feed­ing fam­i­lies and car­ing for the elder­ly to pro­tect­ing wildlife and fos­ter­ing arts and education. 

Old Bill’s is proud­ly admin­is­tered by the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole. To learn more, vis­it old​bills​.org.
