"From its origination at Z100 in New York, Jingle Ball has now spread across the country and become the biggest holiday music event in several of our markets. The shows are synonymous with what is hot in pop music for the year, featuring superstar, chart-topping performers and becoming one of the most sought after tickets," said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. "Jingle Ball is a holiday tradition that we love to share with our stations' loyal fans nationwide and this year we are thrilled to expand the Jingle Ball brand to the Washington, D.C. and Atlanta markets for their first-ever concerts."

Every year, Clear Channel radio stations utilize Jingle Ball to make a difference in communities across the country. This year stations are working with an array of nonprofit organizations including The Ryan Seacrest Foundation, Toys for Tots, Texting Awareness Foundation and The Atlanta Community Food Bank to drive awareness, support and contributions. In addition to the locally supported efforts, all shows will team up to support national charity, Alliance for Lupus Research, a 501c3 organization with a mission to find better treatments and ultimately prevent and cure lupus; a debilitating autoimmune disease, by supporting bio-medical research. Beginning Nov. 1, 2012 local listeners have the opportunity to bid on an "Ultimate Jingle Ball Experience," a charity auction benefitting the Alliance for Lupus Research, that includes unique packages of tickets, meet and greets and other exclusive opportunities specific to each show. Each auction lasts for 10 days with new experiences added weekly through December 4, 2012. To bid on a package please visit http://stores.ebay.com/lupusresearch.
