\nSARATOGA SPRINGS \u2013 Saratoga Performing Arts Center\u2019s annual Rock + Run, one of the region\u2019s most popular fundraising runs, will take place in the Saratoga Spa State Park on Sunday, May 21. The event encompasses a half-marathon, 5K and 10K, with live music performed along the route by local bands. The fundraiser also includes a Kids\u2019 50-Yard Dash and post-party on the SPAC lawn that is open to the public. Registration is available at spac.org<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Saratoga Performing Arts Center looks ahead to an exciting new season, what better way to officially open our gates than with our community members joining us for a run through the beautiful Spa State Park,\u201d said Elizabeth Sobol, President and CEO of SPAC. \u201cWe invite families, runners, walkers and those who just want to enjoy the outdoors and some great music, to join us at SPAC on May 21. This unique event highlights all the best elements of the SPAC experience – live performances, nature, community and connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

All proceeds raised at the Rock and Run benefit SPAC\u2019s Vivienne Anderson program, an arts education initiative that provides approximately 300 children each summer, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, with the opportunity to experience a live performance of the New York City Ballet at SPAC. The program is named for the late Vivienne Anderson, a champion of education and the arts who served as chair of SPAC\u2019s volunteer fundraising committee, the Action Council. The committee organizes and presents the yearly event.
