The Cantina Kids Fun Run is held each year on the first Sunday in June. It’s the only run in Saratoga that’s designed especially for kids! Kids choose the ¼ Mile or 1 Mile course, all kids receive a medal, t-shirt and water bottle, and the top three boys and top three girls on each course receive trophies. Before and after the run, families can enjoy face painting, the bouncy bounce, healthy snacks, and live music from 101.3 The Jockey. Best of all, by participating kids are raising money for pediatric care at Saratoga Hospital’s Emergency Department. A run for kids, all about kids, that benefits kids…a great family event right in downtown Saratoga Springs!

Founded in 2008 by Cantina owners Jeff and Heath Ames, the Cantina Kids Fun Run has raised over $127,000 for pediatric care at Saratoga Hospital’s Emergency Department. The Ames family has a very personal connection to the cause: their daughter, Tessa, now 11, was born was a rare and extremely hard to control form of epilepsy. Knowing that excellent pediatric emergency care is important to all parents, whether for a broken arm, stitches, or something more serious, Jeff and Heath created the event as a way to give back to the community.

From November through March, selected Saratoga Springs-based charities are assigned a fundraising night. Each charity is active in promoting the night to its own supporters, and they receive 33% of the sales they bring in as a donation from Cantina.

Applications for Cantina For A Cause are accepted all year. Fundraisers are limited to not-for-profit organizations in Saratoga Springs. Fundraisers are held on Wednesdays.

Seven organizations participated this year, and the total amount Cantina raised for all of the groups was $6,564.00.
