Old Bill's Fun Run
This run has no finish line. There are no podiums or medal ceremonies. It ends as it started, together, united in greater purpose. Here, every step, every pace, every individual spin of the wheel represents a collective spirit — a shared vision of a more vibrant and enriched community for all. Old Bill’s Fun Run exemplifies the very best of Jackson Hole. In this marathon of generosity lies the opportunity for meaningful contribution, for altruism amplified by the kindness of others, and for the singular drive to make a difference.

Last night, we gathered with other local non-profit organizations to celebrate the incredible philanthropic work done through Old Bill's Fun Run this year, and we learned our final total. Thanks to your generosity and support, we raised $53,174 in support of all the work we do in Teton County!
#tvrcamp #iloveranchcamp #oldbillsfunrun #oldbills2022
THE RESULTS ARE IN! This year, our community raised a total of $19,957,301 through Old Bill’s Fun Run, a 1.2% increase over last year!
That incredible total is a mixture of gifts the community directed to our nonprofit partners and the matching pool built by a group of community-minded donors who fund Old Bill’s match by combining their funds – Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, our CoChallengers, and Friends of the Match. That pool of funding provides a partial matching grant to each qualified nonprofit. This year, our nonprofits received a 61% matching grant on up to $30,000 they raised. That is an additional $18,240 to nonprofits that raised $30,000 in gifts.
Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill led the match with a gift of $1 million. When our community joined CoChallengers and Friends, we received 24,000+ gifts made by 4,193 donors. Since the beginning, 26 years ago, Old Bill’s Fun Run has raised a whopping total of $228,714,344.
This event is a reflection of the generosity of our community and the amazing work of 200+ local nonprofits who are touching the lives of everyone in Teton County.
Thanks to all of you for playing a role in making this another record-breaking year — teamwork makes the dream work!

Last night, in collaboration with the cfjacksonhole and area non-profits, we celebrated the philanthropic spirit of this unique place we call home.
It is awe-inspiring to witness all that is possible thanks to Old Bill’s Fun Run and the generosity of our friends and neighbors.
At the Animal Adoption Center gifts made through Old Bill’s are coupled with the altruism of Mr. & Mrs. Old Bill and the tireless efforts of our fosters, volunteers, adopters, and donors. Together, we will positively impact the lives of thousands of animals this year. THANK YOU!
Our army of supporters allow us to reach animals that have fallen into the overcrowded shelter system with wide-open arms. This includes unwanted litters and healthy adults as well as heartbroken seniors and pets in need of significant medical care.
Thank you for helping us reach pets in desperate situations both regionally and beyond. You fuel our mission and make bright futures possible for animals in need!

Last night was the Old Bill’s Award Ceremony at The Center. Our Executive Director, Heather DeVine, accepted the grant check from The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. It was an honor to be among over 200 nonprofit organizations participating in this charitable philanthropy event. The Co-Challengers stepped up and matched the donations at 60%! 💥 Those dollars 💵 make a massive impact in the work of these well-deserving organizations that tirelessly serve our community. Thank you to all of PSL's supporters who believed in us; we couldn’t do any of this without you. Let’s get to the heart work! ♥️ #peoplespreadlove #heartwork #oldbills2022 #jacksonhole #philanthropy
"One of the main reasons I love #Womentum so much is it constantly encourages me to push my own comfort zone."
When this magnificent woman isn't out leading recovery missions for teamrubicon (as she was when she made this video!!), or running her own business, or rallying for tetonhabitat, or paddling whitewater, or chasing powder, we're lucky to call her a Board Member! Augusta Friendsmith [augiedillpickle](mentee, 2018 #Womentoring Cohort), YOU empower and inspire US everyday.

"Prior to #Womentum, I was a little lost. I didn't know quite know who I was or what direction I wanted to head," said Kris Shean [snogrrl], a mentor in the 2014 #Womentoring Cohort.
But the end of the nine-month program, however, she felt differently.
"I could finally see myself as others see me."
Kris' story is a great reminder of one of the things that makes #mentorship so special — we often hear that mentors get as much out of the experience as their mentees. 🧡
