JACKSON, Wyo. — Support local nonprofits — and have some fun at the same time.
It’s that time of year again: Old Bill’s Fun Run is back for its 29th year, and the 2025 Giving Season officially kicks off Friday, August 15 with a community Launch Party and Rubber Ducky Regatta at Russ Garaman Park from 9:30 to 11 a.m.
Expect 200+ rubber ducks (each repping a local nonprofit) racing down Flat Creek, cheered on by the community and safely brought to shore by the Teton County Search & Rescue Swiftwater team. The winning ducks will snag bonus grants for their organizations — costumes, kids and nonprofit spirit are encouraged. It’s free and open to all.
How Old Bill’s works
Donations made through Old Bill’s between August 15 and September 12 go further thanks to matching funds from Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, CoChallengers, and Friends of the Match. In 2024 the community raised an incredible $23.4 million for local nonprofits.
Whether donating $25 or $25,000, all gifts help support the causes the community cares about—from housing and mental health to education, conservation, the arts and more. One in three Teton County households gives through Old Bill’s. Ready to join them? Participants can visit oldbills.org, pick their favorite nonprofits and make one easy tax-deductible gift.
Donating isn’t the only way to participate
