Christmas in July 2026 - Baton Rouge
Join us for the Christmas in July 2026 Baton Rouge event, a fun and family-friendly run dedicated to raising money for a worthy cause. This year, funds will support Amy Hall's participation in the Surfgimp Foundation at the Rehoboth Beach Marathon and Tina Travis's run for St. Jude. The Surfgimp Foundation aims to empower individuals with disabilities through financial grants for active lifestyles, covering expenses like equipment, travel, lessons, and entry fees. St. Jude Children's Hospital is committed to advancing cures and prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases, ensuring no family is billed for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
You can participate either in person from Santa's workshop or virtually from your own location. All donations are gratefully accepted!
