Coach Bell and Sens forward Jan Jenik continuing ‘Clowns for Kids’ tradition

November 7, 2025

The tradition of Belleville Senators Head Coach Dave Bell and one of the team’s captains clowning their way down the Belleville Santa Parade route, in support of Belleville Rotary kids programs, is continuing for a fourth straight year.

This year, it will be Coach Bell and alternate captain Jan Jenik, who don clown costumes and walk the route in support of the Rotary Club of Belleville’s ‘Clowns for Kids’ program. Started in 2022, ‘Clowns for Kids’ has raised more than $30,000 in support of local children’s programming, and this season Bell and Jenik have set a goal to add another $1,000 to that total.

The parade will start at 4:30 p.m. and travel eastbound along Bridge Street West, from Bridge Street and Sidney Street, to Bridge Street and Herchimer Avenue.
