Old Bill’s Fun Run is an annual community fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that began in 1997. Held each late August to early September, it brings together residents, visitors, and over 200 local nonprofits for a “marathon of generosity.” Unlike a traditional race, there’s no finish line or medals—just a shared goal of enriching the community. Since its inception, Old Bill’s has raised more than $280 million for causes ranging from the arts to wildlife conservation, social services, and education. Administered by the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, the event includes a launch party and the spirited Rubber Ducky Regatta, making it both a philanthropic and festive highlight of the year.

The Jackson Hole Community Band is proud to be one of the many local nonprofits supported through Old Bill’s Fun Run. Thanks to the generosity of our community, this event helps keep our music playing at concerts year-round—from parades and park performances to holiday celebrations. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who makes Old Bill’s a tradition of giving and a celebration of what makes Jackson Hole so special.
