A MESSAGE FROM THE CANTINA FUN RUN CHAIRS


We are so grateful to our sponsors for their continued support. Special thanks to Presenting Sponsor New Country Motor Car Group for their generous and ongoing support! The only run in Saratoga Springs that’s designed especially for kids, the Cantina Kids Fun Run makes a difference for every pediatric patient treated at Saratoga Hospital. A great event for the whole family! We founded the Fun Run in 2008 in honor of our daughter, who was born with a rare and extremely hard to control form of epilepsy. Knowing that quality pediatric emergency care is important to all parents, whether for a broken arm, stitches, or something more serious, we created the event as a way to give back to the community and we are so thankful for your participation and support!
