Third Annual Jingle Jog to benefit A Giving Spirit Foundation (AGSF)

(read to the tune of jingle bell jog)

jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell jog
jingle bells chime at 9 am eastern standard time
running and walking from the Davidson Green
in a 5K put on by the AGSF teens

jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell jog
jingle bells ring whether you run the 5k or fun run thing
hustle and bustle back to the festive Green
so you can have hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream

what a bright time
it's the right time
to jog the holiday stress away
jingle jog time is a swell time
to get off the naughty list before Christmas day
Giddy-up runners 
pick up your feet
jingle around the block
so you can mix and a-mingle in the fire pit heat

that's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell jog

Christmas Eve morning Jingle Bell Jog for AGSF

SECOND ANNUAL JINGLE BELL JOG 5K
'Twas the day before Christmas, when all through Davidson town,
Every runner was running, their Santa hats bouncing up and down.
Their shoelaces were tied-up with jingle bells nice and tight
So the magical sound of bells rang out through the mid-morning light.

All of the runners' children were invited to come out and run too
So visions of them crazed with too much energy, would not come true
Mama in her Nikes and I in my old running tee
Headed down to the parking lot at Summit Coffee

As 9 a.m. rang, there arose such a clatter
As runners and pets through the town did scatter
Looking for the 5K trail laid-out around town with flour
That would bring them back to Summit so they could all enjoy coffee hour

So grab your shoes and your kids and maybe your dog too
To head down town and if you donate $20 to A Giving Spirit there'll be a t-shirt for you.  
We'll provide the jingle bells, you provide the fun
And we'll all enjoy a nice Christmas Eve run.

A small group of local Davidson friends are hosting a very unofficial Jingle Bell Jog 5K at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec 24th, the morning of Christmas eve to raise awareness and money for A Giving Spirit Foundation (AGFS).    Everyone that donates at least $20 that morning to AGFS will receive a fun AND attractive t-shirt.   

Even if you can't run, please consider making a donation to AGFS through www.agivingspirit.org and clicking on the donate button. We will meet at 9 a.m. at the Summit parking lot and start shortly thereafter.  There's no support along the way...no street closings, water stops or officers directing traffic, but we will have laid out the trail with flour so if you can follow an arrow, you can follow the trail.  We'll have jingle bells to tie on your shoes, but feel free to bring any other festive wear to enhance your holiday look.   There's a 5K route that you can walk or run and then a 1 mile fun run for the kids.  After we are done, we can all grab some coffee and let the kids run around a bit.   

Anyone is welcome so PLEASE forward on to friends and neighbors.  Email me if you have any questions
