Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run 5K
Worcester, MA – December 7, 2025 – Jingle Bell Run returns to bring holiday cheer to Worcester on December 7th, with the goal of raising $95,000 this year. This family-friendly, holiday-themed 5K run at Bay State Brewing Company encourages participants to dress in festive costumes and get moving to raise awareness and funds to conquer America’s #1 cause of disability.
Taking place in more than 60 cities nationwide, the Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run benefits the nearly 60 million adults and hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. who are living with arthritis every day. From funding cutting-edge research for new treatments, and ultimately a cure, to advocating for health care access, the Arthritis Foundation helps people with arthritis score everyday victories, one step at a time.
“Jingle Bell Run has found it home in Worcester over the last 5 years and we’re looking forward to bringing extra holiday cheer to town this year,” said Erica D’Agostino, Senior Executive Director. “Our honorees and volunteers are the ones who make Jingle Bell Run successful and memorable every year, and this year we’re humbled to honor Dr. Minjin Fromm who is a true arthritis champion and her commitment to her patients.”
Dr. Fromm has a passion for improving the quality of life of patients who suffer from painful arthritic conditions in the spine and joints through injection-based treatment. She finds joy in connecting with patients to help understand their problems and offers the best treatment options to reduce their pain and return to an active lifestyle.
In addition to Dr. Fromm, the following people and partners will be honored.
• Dr. Esra Meidan, Jingle Bell Run Medical Honoree, Boston Children's Hospital
• Sarine, Jingle Bell Run Teen Honoree
• Charlotte, Jingle Bell Run Youth Honoree
