SUMMARY:Jingle Bell Dash 2025: A Fundraising Fun Run/Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Valley’s favorite holiday fun run/walk is back! Inspired by events like Provincetown’s Jingle Bell Run and Albany’s Santa Speedo Sprint, attendees are encouraged to strip down—or dress up—in their own creative and festive holiday looks for this romp through the streets of Kingston to raise funds in support of the Gen Q Youth Programs of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center.\nLast year more than two dozen Dashers dressed up (and stripped down) to join the fun as this joyous romp raised more than $8000 for the Center’s programs. For 2025 we’re hoping to make that contribution even larger by signing up more than 100 Dashers! That said, everyone is encouraged to build a team of friends to join you for the fun!\nRoute Map\nThe dash is easy and FUN – it’s just about 8 blocks around the Stockade neighborhood – and anyone can do it by either running, trotting, rolling or walking. If you’d rather not be an actual Dasher in the event, you can also cheer from the sidewalks while sipping something warm or simply make a direct donation in support of the event.\nDash, Watch or Donate\nRegistration as a Dasher is $30 per person with funds raised going directly to support queer Hudson Valley Youth. You can also register as or join a Team to boost your fundraising total and give your friends, family and loved ones an easy way to support you with a donation.\nDash Schedule\nHow ever you participate – by Dashing or Donating – come celebrate with your community at the Jingle Bell Dash on Saturday morning, December 6th!\n\n8:30am: Pre-Dash Happy Hour at the Hotel Kinsley\n9:15am: Dash Line-Up\n9:30am: Dash Begins!\n\nDash, Donate or Sponsor: Register NowSee Pics from Last Year's DashOur inaugural Jingle Bell Dash saw two dozen Dashers prance through Kingston's Uptown Stockade neighborhood in their holiday finest, raising funds for the Youth programs at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center.\nSee Pics from Last Year's Dash\n
