FISH OF SANCAP is gearing up for one of the most exciting events of the year — the 2025 JOG N JAM, a two-part celebration blending community spirit, healthy fun, and live music, all while raising critical funds to support neighbors in need.
The JOG N JAM kicks off with a community 10K/5K run on Nov. 1, followed by a high-energy outdoor concert with fan-favorite Ben Allen Band on Dec. 6. Both events support the essential work of FISH OF SANCAP, a nonprofit serving those who live and work on Sanibel and Captiva Islands through programs like food pantry services, emergency financial assistance, senior outreach, disaster recovery support and more.
“Sponsoring JOG N JAM is more than great exposure for your business — it’s a chance to stand with our community and make a real impact,” said Event Chair and FISH Board Member Leah Winkler.
“We welcome sponsors of all sizes and have packages that fit a variety of budgets, with great perks at every level,” she said.
One immediate benefit is that sponsor logos are added immediately to both the FISH website and the official race registration page, complete with direct links to your business website.
It’s a great way to boost visibility while showing your support for a vital wraparound nonprofit providing much-needed services to island residents, workers, and the entire community.

There’s still time to get involved — sponsorship commitments close mid-to-late September to meet print and promo deadlines. Whether you’re a small local business or a regional leader, JOG N JAM offers a great way to give back and connect with a crowd that cares.
Sponsorship levels range from Supporter to Presenting Sponsor, with options that include Supporter, Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Premier, Sound & Lighting, Band/Stage, Celebration, and Presenting tiers.
All sponsorship levels come with benefits, depending on the level, such as logo placement, recognition at the event, and brand visibility both online and on-site.
