FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, December 03, 2011 /Florida PR News/ -- "Virtually Anytime, Virtually Anywhere" is the buzz surrounding the 2011 Florida Virtual Jingle Bell Run/Walk at the Arthritis Foundation, Florida Chapter. Participants can register online at http://www.FloridaJBRonline.kintera.org and will receive a "holiday kit" including a limited edition, long-sleeve t-shirt and festive shoelaces by mail.
Registration is open to anyone, and participants are encouraged to form teams with friends, family members and coworkers to seek donations online. The virtual event provides an opportunity for those not able to attend a physical event to show their support for the cause.
Funds generated by the event will support summer camps for children with juvenile arthritis, community outreach, health education, local programs and research. The Florida Chapter is fighting hard to reduce the impact of arthritis in a state where one in every three people is affected.
The 2011 Virtual Jingle Bell Run/Walk is part of the "Exceed to Succeed" Challenge issued by The Patterson Foundation, based in Sarasota, Fla., which will match dollar for dollar every dollar raised over and above what the event made last year.
Visit http://www.FloridaJBRonline.kintera.org to make a donation and have your friends do the same. The virtual event lasts throughout December.
The Arthritis Foundation (http://www.arthritis.org) is the leading health organization addressing the needs of the 50 million American adults and 300,000 children living with arthritis, the nation's most common cause of disability. The Foundation helps individuals take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legislation; supporting research and conducting evidence-based programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis.
