Capital Region Gives Back is back—and this year we return to in-person celebration!

One year after the craziness of our "hybrid" in-person/virtual 2020 Capital Region Gives Back event (hey, we pulled it off!) Saratoga Living and Capital Region Living are thrilled to invite you to our third annual charity event.

Here's how it works:

1. Read up on the 10 impressive honorees (five from Saratoga and five from the greater Capital Region) and the important charities they're representing below.

2. Decide on one charity you'd like to support. (We know, it's hard!)

3. Choose that charity when buying tickets.

4. Fifty percent of the cost of your ticket will go directly to that charity. The rest will support local journalism!

5. Show up on December 9 for a festive evening of food, drinks and music and to see which honoree raised the most for his or her charity!

The Honorees:

Janet Abrahamson - Joy US Foundation

Dennis Moench - SPAC Education

Zippy Chippy - Old Friends at Cabin Creek

Lisa Mitzen - Shelters of Saratoga

Lois Celeste - Saratoga Senior Center

William Trigg - Make-A-Wish of Northeast NY

Christina Arangio - Down Syndrome Aim High Resource Center

Taylor Nichols - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Rainbow Doemel - The Arthritis Foundation, Northeastern New York

Ron Gardner - Hamilton Hill Arts Center

Plus: the evening's emcee, Channel 10's Ryan Peterson! And a surprise musical guest to perform live holiday music!
