WHAT IS OLD BILL’S?
Twenty-one years ago, an anonymous, philanthropic couple, fondly known as Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, envisioned a collaborative event to support local nonprofits. For the first time, organizations came together in an efficient, unified fundraiser that raised awareness of community needs. Over the last two decades, more than $146 million has been raised for local organizations, and it has inspired similar events around the country.
One of the most innovative fundraisers in the nation, Old Bill’s Fun Run is also one of the most successful. In 2017, the event raised $12,168,165 from nearly 3,798 donors. Old Bill’s has brought an astounding $146 million philanthropic dollars to our community. These funds are busy feeding the hungry, supporting the sick and elderly, teaching kids to read, protecting wildlife, building affordable housing, enriching our lives through the arts and touching the lives of everyone in Teton County.
In 2019, you can give to Wyoming Stargazing beginning August 1st through 5pm on September 14th. Join us Saturday, September 7th, for Old Bill’s Fun Run on Jackson’s Town Square!
