Advocates is proud to tie on jingle bells and host the second annual Jingle Jog fun run held in Cartersville this December. Partnering with the Cartersville Exchange Club, runners will lead the Cartersville Christmas parade along the parade route and then settle in with thousands of others to ring in the holiday season watching the parade. Sponsored by Gary Fox, CPA and McDonalds, the Jingle Jog is a 1.4 mile fun run for all ages and ability levels. Participants are asked to dress up in their wackiest holiday gear and prizes will be awarded to our favorite costume and the overall winner of the race. Each runner will also receive bells for jingling down Main Street, glow sticks, a long sleeved signature t-shirt and a sweet treat at the end of the race. All proceeds will benefit Advocates for Children, a non-profit organization located in Cartersville serving over 2,600 children in Northwest Georgia that have fallen victim to abuse, neglect and abandonment. Advocates' mission is to strengthen our community of families by offering safety, comfort, and hope to children and preventing child abuse in all its forms. Registration for the Jingle Jog is available online at www.AdvoChild.org. Early Bird registration is $25 and guarantees your t-shirt size of choice. Event day registration will be held at the Tabernacle Church gravel parking lot, across from Scott's Walk-up Bar-B-Q, on December 5 at 4 p.m. for $30.
