Saratoga Hospital’s Cantina Kids Fun Run Has Record-Breaking Year

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 16th annual Cantina Kids Fun Run on Sunday, June 2 in Congress Park drew more than 1,100 participants and raised $72,000 to support pediatric emergency services at Saratoga Hospital, surpassing previous totals.

The funds will go directly to pediatric training, certifications, equipment, and technology, enabling Saratoga Hospital to care for pediatric patients and their families.

The event was created and co-chaired by Heath and Jeff Ames, owners of the Cantina Mexican restaurant in downtown Saratoga Springs.

“We are proud to have created the only run in Saratoga Springs that’s designed especially for kids, and even more thrilled that it brings so many families in our community together,” said Heath Ames in a statement. “Over the years, the funds raised have made a difference for every pediatric patient treated at Saratoga Hospital.”
