Jingle Bell Foster Care Pajama Drive 5K and Kids Santa Fun Run - Avon Park, FL

The Jingle Bell Run returns to downtown Avon Park this year, starting and finishing at our new race headquarters, The Historic Jacaranda Hotel.

For more than 20 years, this cherished holiday tradition has brought our community together for an evening of Christmas lights, festive fun, and giving back.

Join us as we light up the night and run or walk through Avon Park’s beautifully decorated mile-long mall. This year’s event benefits The Who I Am Foundation, supporting local foster care children and special needs children and adults.

For the second year, we are honored to welcome special needs children and adult participants from Ridge Area ARC and the surrounding community. Special pricing is available for special needs and IDD participants, and caregivers walking with them may participate at no charge.  Please contact us at info@whoiamfoundation.com for special needs/IDD Discount Code
