The Watertown Jig Jog is almost here – March 14, 2026 – and we’d love for you to be a part of this joyful tradition! The Jig Jog is the Educational Foundation of Watertown’s annual fundraiser, and every dollar raised goes right back into our public and parochial classrooms through teacher grants. Last year, this community helped raise over $23,000, allowing the EFW to award more than $50,000 in grants. Let’s keep that momentum going.

 

There are so many meaningful ways you can get involved!

 

1. Sponsor! If you don't like to do run/walks and you don't have time to spare, tax-deductible sponsorships contribute to the overall fundraising event and allow us to have more funds to give back to our schools! Learn more about the benefits of sponsorship.

 

2. Participate! Register to run/walk the 5k, get JigJog swag and support our schools! Your business can also form a team where you can participate together (or compete internally for bragging rights!)

 

3. Volunteer! If your favorite marathon is a Netflix marathon, we've got a spot for you! You can choose where along the route you'd like to cheer on the participants. Giving a couple of hours helps make this impactful event possible. We need YOU!

 

4. Share! Follow the Watertown JigJog 5k on Facebook and the Educational Foundation of Watertown on Facebook and share posts regularly to help us get the good word to our greater community!

 

5. Donate! It just a few clicks, you can be a donor and supporter. You can donate In Honor or In Memory of a favorite teacher or loved one. Each donation makes a significant difference.

 

Let’s celebrate ’26 in a big way by raising $26,000 for our students and teachers. Together, we can make it happen!

 

Warmly, and with gratitude,

The Educational Foundation of Watertown’s Jig Jog 5k Leadership Team.
