Jingle Bell Run Raises $50K for Arthritis Foundation
The annual run at Northville Downs was Saturday.
There were 900 runners and walkers in Northville Saturday for the Jingle Bell Run/Walk at Northville Downs.
The group raised more than $50,000 to help Michiganders with arthritis, the nation’s leading cause of disability, through the Arthritis Foundation.
Participants dressed in their most creative holiday-themed costumes and tied bells to their shoes. The events included a chip-timed 5K run or walk and fun runs for kids, plus a post-race celebration with refreshments, medals awarded to the top finishers in 13 age categories and prizes for best costume, largest team and biggest fundraiser.
