Benefiting Youth Strong and LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
The Jingle Bell Hustle & Dash is a high-energy, family-friendly 5K and 1K community race designed to bring Southeast Wisconsin together in support of cancer survivors and children facing cancer. Held during the holiday season, this festive event combines movement, mission, and meaningful impact.
Participants of all ages and abilities—competitive runners, recreational walkers, families, and corporate teams—lace up to support two life-changing programs: Youth Strong, serving children battling or recovering from cancer, and LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a 12-week evidence-based program that helps adult cancer survivors rebuild strength, endurance, and confidence after treatment.
Every registration, sponsorship, and donation directly funds these programs, ensuring they remain free to participants across Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Walworth counties. Funds raised provide certified instructors, individualized exercise programming, equipment, scholarships, and supportive community environments where survivors regain not only physical strength, but hope.
The event features:
- Timed 5K race
- 1K Dash for kids and families
- Survivor recognition moments
- Community vendor engagement
- Corporate team participation opportunities
More than a race, the Jingle Bell Hustle & Dash is resilience in motion. It unites our four-county region around a shared purpose: helping cancer survivors reclaim their health and ensuring no child or family faces the journey alone.
