Patterned after an Israeli event to assist local charities, Night Run Chattanooga receives significant support from First Tennessee and the Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga as well as other local companies and individuals.

Proceeds from this event will help bring Christian, Jewish and Muslim children together through recreational programs designed to encourage empowerment, strengthen confidence and develop friendship. 

The Jewish Federation and its programs are open to everyone regardless of religious affiliation.  The Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga builds and fosters a strong unified Jewish community and strives to ensure its well-being and continuity locally, in Israel, and throughout the world.
