SARATOGA SPRINGS — Last year, 4,000 children received treatment in Saratoga Hospital’s Alfred Z. Solomon Emergency Center. Every one of them ben- efited from funds raised by the annual Cantina Kids Fun Run, which will be held June 4 in Congress Park.
The race starts at 9 a.m.; reg- istration is $20.
Now in its tenth year, the Fun Run has become a fam- ily favorite, attracting hundreds of children and parents, rain or shine. This year’s event is on track to raise a record $67,000, bringing the 10-year total to over $400,000.
The lion’s share of the pro- ceeds benefits pediatric emer- gency care at Saratoga Hospital. Funds also support pediatric den- tal care at the hospital’s Saratoga Community Health Center.
The Fun Run was the brainchild of Cantina restau- rant owners Jeff and Heath Ames, who teamed up with Saratoga Hospital Foundation to give back in appreciation for the lifesaving care their daugh- ter has repeatedly received at Saratoga Hospital. The event brings families and organiza- tions together for a healthy outdoor activity—and a wor- thy cause. This year’s present- ing sponsor is New Country Motor Car Group.
