When one thinks about the city of Saratoga usually a few things come to mind such as the beer festivals, SPAC, and of course the race track. One thing that may not come to mind immediately is the homeless in Saratoga.

The city of Saratoga has put a major initiative on fighting against homeless in the last twenty years. Luckily, the Shelters of Saratoga has been doing its part for years by raising money and awareness for the homeless. The Shelters of Saratoga's 6th Annual Brighter Days Gala will take place on April 7th from 6pm - 9pm at Longfellows Restaurant in Saratoga Springs. The cocktail event will feature live entertainment by NonStop Music and a silent auction with a variety of prizes including box seats to the Saratoga race track and free Druthers beer for one year..

Tickets are $100 per person and the goal is to raise $59,000. Though it seems like a lot of money, let's join together as a community and help the Shelters of Saratoga not only hit their monetary goal but also to provide awareness of homelessness in Saratoga.
