Join In Our
Community of Volunteers

Volunteering is vital to strengthening communities by bringing people together to support one another and create lasting positive change. When individuals give their time and talents, they help meet immediate needs, build deeper connections, and enjoy a shared sense of purpose. Volunteers are crucial in driving local initiatives forward, from supporting youth and seniors to protecting natural spaces and uplifting nonprofits. Their efforts foster resilience, compassion, and unity—making our communities stronger, more inclusive, and better equipped to thrive.

If you want to volunteer for the event or other opportunities with the Community Foundation, please contact our Program Manager, Brian Thysell.

Since ’07

Inspiring Philanthropy

After participating in the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole’s Old Bill’s Fun Run as a neighboring community for many years, local nonprofit leaders gathered in 2007 to consider starting our own fundraising mechanism on the west side of the Tetons. The Community Foundation of Teton Valley was created as an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole and has been serving Teton Valley nonprofits ever since. The Tin Cup Challenge has raised millions since its incep­tion in 2007 and made phil­an­thropy a house­hold word in Teton Valley.

Every­one is invit­ed to enjoy Event Day! Run with us, learn about local non­prof­its, engage with the community, and cele­brate philanthropy. Qual­i­fy­ing non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tions in Teton Valley are invit­ed to par­tic­i­pate in the Tin Cup Challenge and on Event Day.

Pre-registration ends the Friday before the event at 5 p.m. Register for the Fun Run/Walk for FREE before Event Day and $10 on the day of. The Competitive 5K is $10, while the 10K costs $20 before Event Day and $20 / $30 on the day of the race.
