SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Sunday, August 20, The Saratoga Winery hosted the first ever Sneakerfest, to benefit the Saratoga County Children’s Committees’ (SCCC) Back to School Program. 

The organizations collaborated with iRun LOCAL to provide sneakers for children as they prepare to return to school in September. Allo Saratoga also participated and set up activities, creating a family-friendly atmosphere throughout the afternoon. The event was wildly successful and was able to raise enough funds for over 30 pairs of sneakers for local children. This year, SCCC will provide over 60 children with back to school essentials - including backpacks, supplies, toiletries, clothing, and of course, sneakers. 

The goal is to equip students with the required school supplies to empower them and encourage a positive beginning of a new academic year.
