Christmas in July
About this race
Christmas in July 2026 is a fun and family friendly event used to raise money for a charity runner.
Funds raised this year will support Amy Hall, who is running for the Surfgimp Foundation at the Rehoboth Beach Marathon in December and for Tina Travis, who is running for St. Jude.
Surfgimp Foundation's mission is to support, through financial grants, individuals with disabilities who require assistance to pursue an active lifestyle.
Sometimes a disabled individual needs assistance from other people to experience their greatest adventures. Surfgimp’s vision is to help facilitate these adventures by providing support for some of the extra expenses that can be incurred such as equipment, travel, lessons, entry fees, and more.
St. Jude Children's Hospital mission is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Founded on the vision that "no child should die in the dawn of life," St. Jude ensures no family receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
Our fundraising goal is: $2,400.00
You can run in person from Santa’s workshop or virtually from your neck of the woods. All donations are accepted!
