OC Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis

Come out for the 2nd annual OC Jingle Bell Run/Walk on Sunday, December 1st at Crown Valley Community Park in Laguna Niguel, CA. There will be fun for the whole family.  Play in the Festival area with crafts, face painting, bounce house, cookie decorating and REAL SNOW!

Run the 5K timed race or walk the 5k fun run/walk with holiday themed entertainment and activities all along the course.  Collect jingle bells for participating in the Present Toss, the North Pole Challenge, Gnome for the Holidays, and much much more.  Your bells earn you raffle tickets for some really great prizes (Foursome at Tustin Ranch, hotel stays, XBox 360 + Kinnect, Western Digital My Cloud, and more.)

Arthritis is a serious disease affecting 53 million adults and 300,000 children in the U.S.  Did you know that 65% of those suffering from the 120 forms of arthritis (including Lupus, Gout, Fibromyalgia, Juvenile Arthritis) are under the age of 65?  It is a common misconception that arthritis only affects the elderly.  The Arthritis Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for research to find a cure.
