Jingle Bell Jog (Plato St. Petersburg)
2025-12-17 12:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | St. Petersburg, 6725 38th Ave N., St. Petersburg, FL, 33710, United States
As hard as it is to believe, the holiday season is upon us! For the P.E. Department at Plato Academy St Petersburg, this means it’s almost time for our 11th Annual Jingle Bell Jog!
This event in the past has been a huge success and super fun times for the kiddos simultaneously. This event aims to celebrate the holidays with a fun run while also raising funds to help support the P.E. program. Our last Jingle Bell Jog raised over $5,000 for the P.E. program. We were able to purchase new basketballs, footballs, speakers, scooters, gymnastics mats and so much more. This year, we would love to achieve a goal of raising $6,000.
To continue the growth and innovation of the P.E. department, the funds raised this year will go towards purchasing better sports equipment for middle school, more fitness equipment, equipment packages for elementary and additional storage.

DESMOS
DESMOS Association operates as an effective and reliable connecting link for social contribution in Greece. It matches donations with the recorded needs of organizations and bodies of civil society in an efficient and transparent manner.

ELIZA
The ELIZA Association was founded in Greece in 2008, with the sole purpose of protecting children from all forms of abuse and neglect. It provides specialized support to children and vulnerable families, contributing to the creation of safer environments for approximately 100,000 children annually.
Cause: Our goal is to meet the needs of prevention and response programs to child abuse through the Child Safety Care Units at “P & A Kyriakou” Children’s Hospital, the 3rd Pediatric Clinic of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Attikon University General Hospital, the Pediatric Clinic of Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupoli University General Hospital, the 3rd Pediatric Clinic of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Papageorgiou General Hospital, and the Pediatric Clinic of the University of Patras at Patras University General Hospital.

SOS Children’s Villages
Established in 1975, SOS Children’s Villages Greece support children, young people, and families who are in vulnerable situations, with the aim of fostering their development, protection, and gradual independence. They provide care and housing in protective family environments, while also strengthening the family, social, and community support networks of the beneficiaries.
Cause: Our aim is to ensure the coverage of basic and operational needs in the foster homes in Vari, Plagiari in Thessaloniki and Aristino in Alexandroupoli, which provide a protective and loving family environment for children and young people deprived of parental care.

Floga
The Parents Association of Children with Cancer, FLOGA, has been by the side of children with cancer and their families for 42 years. They support the operation of the oncology departments of pediatric hospitals and assist in addressing childhood cancer.

Make-A-Wish Greece
Established in 1996, Make-A-Wish Greece fulfills the wishes of children with serious illnesses, acting as a source of strength and motivation, so that every child who is ill can continue fighting. A wish becomes an integral part of the journey toward healing, as it helps to strengthen both the physical and mental resilience of the children.
Cause: We strive to fulfill as many wishes as possible for children facing serious illnesses, recognizing that each wish granted is a source of strength and motivation.

ΔΕΥΤΕΡΑ 22 ΔΕΚΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ
«Οι ανάγκες που ζητούν τη στήριξη όλων μας»
Λίγες μόνο ημέρες μας χωρίζουν από τον μεγάλο Χριστουγεννιάτικο Τηλεμαραθώνιο του ΑΝΤ1, για τα παιδιά. Για περισσότερα από 35 χρόνια, ο ΑΝΤ1 βρίσκεται πάντα δίπλα στην ελληνική κοινωνία, ενημερώνοντας, ψυχαγωγώντας και εμπνέοντας τους τηλεθεατές. Με βαθιά πίστη στη δύναμη της αλληλεγγύης, έχει κάνει την ανθρώπινη προσφορά αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της ταυτότητάς του, μεταφέροντας ένα διαχρονικό μήνυμα ελπίδας και ανθρωπιάς.
Με την πεποίθηση ότι τα παιδιά είναι η πιο πολύτιμη υπόσχεση για το αύριο, ο ΑΝΤ1 αφιερώνει μια ολόκληρη ημέρα στα παιδιά της πατρίδας μας που χρειάζονται στήριξη και φροντίδα, σε κάθε γωνιά της Ελλάδας.
Τη Δευτέρα 22 Δεκεμβρίου, «ΕΙΜΑΣΤΕ ΕΝΑ» μέσα από έναν Χριστουγεννιάτικο Τηλεμαραθώνιο Αλληλεγγύης για τα παιδιά. Μια μέρα γεμάτη ελπίδα, συγκίνηση και αληθινές ιστορίες, με στόχο την ενίσχυση του έργου των μη κερδοσκοπικών σωματείων Δεσμός, ΕΛΙΖΑ, Παιδικά Χωριά SOS, Η Φλόγα και το Make-A-Wish Ελλάδος, που βρίσκονται καθημερινά δίπλα στα παιδιά που το έχουν ανάγκη.

H Φλόγα: Προτεραιότητά μας είναι η κάλυψη της ετήσιας συντήρησης τεσσάρων σπιτιών φιλοξενίας – 3 στο Γουδί και 1 στον Χολαργό – τα οποία παρέχουν δυνατότητα φιλοξενίας και εξυπηρέτησης έως και 50 παιδιών με καρκίνο, καθώς και των οικογενειών τους, από όλη την Ελλάδα.
Make-A-Wish Ελλάδος: Επιδιώκουμε να εκπληρώσουμε όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερες ευχές παιδιών που αντιμετωπίζουν σοβαρές ασθένειες, αναγνωρίζοντας ότι κάθε ευχή αποτελεί πηγή δύναμης και κινήτρου.

Ο Χριστουγεννιάτικος Τηλεμαραθώνιος Αλληλεγγύης του ΑΝΤ1 είναι ένα μήνυμα ότι κανένα παιδί δεν πρέπει να νιώθει μόνο. Με την υποστήριξη όλων μας, μπορούμε να γεμίσουμε τις καρδιές τους με ζεστασιά, χαμόγελο και όνειρα.
