Kawartha Lakes Food Source Is Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Jolly Jog!
October 7, 2024 – Kawartha Lakes, ON – Mark your calendars and pull out your running shoes because the 15th Annual Jolly Jog is happening this year on Saturday, November 16th!
Jolly Jog is a fundraiser for Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) that invites the community to participate in a festive, family-friendly, 5km walk/run on a route around Lindsay! Participants can sign up as individuals, or as a group with friends, family, or your workplace. The event is free, but we urge participants to donate upon sign-up and collect pledges in support of their run. Donations and pledges are so important: they make up nearly the entire amount raised each year, and we're hoping the 15th anniversary of this exciting fundraiser will be the best one yet! This year, we’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 so we can continue supporting those that are hungry in our community.
On November 16th, after Jolly Joggers finish their route, they can enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with games, a chili lunch, hot chocolate, and, of course, photos with Santa! Best-Dressed Prizes will be given for Most Festive Individual, Group, and Pet at the event, and a special prize for Most Funds Raised will be awarded after November 16th.
"I’m excited to attend my first Jolly Jog this year! It’s a wonderful chance to support our community and spread holiday joy,” says KLFS Volunteer Relations Coordinator, Brittni Wells. Not only is the Jolly Jog a fun holiday kick off, it's also a great way to give back, as an individual or even as a local business. We’re still accepting Jolly Jog event sponsors, which could be a great strategy to help your business meet its goals and build an even bigger presence in the community.
“Our goal is to raise $10,000, and I can’t wait to see everyone come together for this great cause!” shares Brittni. Jolly Jog is one of our biggest fundraising events, which means your participation makes a significant impact at KLFS!

Tip: Donations of $20 and above are eligible to receive a charitable tax receipt! Sharing this helpful tip with potential pledgees is a great incentive to get more donations to support your run.
