SUMMARY:2026 Jingle Bells Telethon
DESCRIPTION:Help the Jingle Bells Foundation support numerous causes to help families in need\, not only over the holidays\, but throughout the year.\nJoin us for the annual Jingle Bells Telethon\, held from 5:00 – 10:00 pm on Saturday\, December 5th at the Alexandria Area High School’s Performing Arts Center.  It’s five-hours of live television\, broadcast over several local TV channels\, as well as on our YouTube live stream on our foundation’s website\, www.jinglebellsalexandria.org.   Enjoy dozens of talented local musicians\, singers\, dancers\, poets\, magicians\, and comedians\, live on the PAC stage\, or in the comfort of your living room. \nMoney raised from the telethon goes to immediately help pay for hundreds of food and toy baskets that will go out the following day on Sunday\, December 6th.  Additional money is used throughout the year with our “Beyond the Bells” campaign.  Those funds help support local food shelves\, including those at the Middle and High Schools in Alexandria\, as well as neighboring communities.  Funds also help with basic toiletries and necessities for students of all grade levels.  It helps provide transportation options through gas gift cards and Rainbow Rider passes\, as well as hardship funds for people who have suffered loss due to a natural disaster.  Our goal is to help families\, from those with young children all the way to those in their elder years living alone. \nHelp us make a difference 365 days a year during this holiday celebration of talent and goodwill.
