Old Bill's T-Shirt Contest
Submissions are currently under review.
Every year, the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole produces an Old Bill Fun Run t‑shirt for the community. The t‑shirt has become an iconic nod to each year’s fun run. To celebrate Old Bill’s 30th anniversary year, the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole wants you to help design the Old Bill’s t‑shirt. We’re looking for a design that captures the magic of Old Bill’s: 30 years of joy, playfulness, inclusion and community.
Inspiring Philanthropy Since 1997
Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill have inspired thousands to raise millions through this innovative community celebration. Mr. Old Bill loves to run, and one day while on a run he got the idea for an annual community-wide fundraising event to benefit all local nonprofits.
Old Bill’s has raised over $306 million dollars since its inception in 1997 and made philanthropy a household word in Jackson.
Join us for Run Day on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 8:30am at Jackson Elementary School fields. Old Bill’s Fun Run includes an interactive nonprofit village with many booths highlighting participating nonprofits, a 5K and 10K Run/Walk/Adaptive race as well as a highly competitive Diaper Derby. Winners of each race receive prize money to donate to their favorite nonprofits. Thanks to the generosity of our CoChallengers, it is free to run or walk in Old Bill’s.
Old Bill’s 2026 festivities will take place at Jackson Elementary School fields on Willow Street in downtown Jackson, Wyoming.
Everyone is invited to enjoy Old Bill’s festivities, learn about local nonprofits and celebrate philanthropy.
