Sentry Management’s Central Florida offices participated in the Jingle Bell Run 5K on Saturday, December 10th, raising over $45,000 to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. Sentry also supported the event as the Platinum sponsor. The event was held in Baldwin Park, a prominent Orlando community managed by Sentry Management since 2006. The Orlando event raised over $122,000 overall.

The Jingle Bell Run is a 5K fun run where participants dress up festively and walk or run the course to raise donations for the Arthritis Foundation. The race is held over the course of several December weekends throughout major cities across the U.S. and brings together people from all walks of life to champion arthritis research and resources. 100% of the funds that are raised go directly to the foundation.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Sentry has participated in the race on a national level and has raised over $150,000 to date. The event is part of Sentry’s commitment to giving back through the company-wide charitable program known as “Giving SMILES.” The Giving SMILES program identifies deserving residents that have been impacted by tragic events like fire, flood, or other personal hardships and provide funding and assistance through company-matched and employee donations.

In addition to Giving SMILES, Sentry employees contribute to local charities that association board members identify. Sentry supports 100 local charities and causes across 21 states, and raises over $75,000 per year through events like a charity golf tournament and the Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run.
