SARATOGA SPRINGS— The 10th annual Shaken & Stirred was a huge success, crazy moments, and shots of laughter. Raising $94,505 for family programming at Universal Preservation Hall, the impact of this event brews over to the wonderful community of Saratoga.

Eight teams competed to bring in the most tips to help foster the Collaborative School of the Arts initiative at UPH. For the second year in a row, Team DeCrescente won the Shaken trophy by raising a whopping $18,970. Mohawk Auto, Bonacio, Fingerpaint, Saratoga Living, Bonadio, Metabolic Fitness, and Palette all helped to reach a total of $66,539 in tips alone!

Director Teddy Foster said, “Shaken & Stirred was a tremendous success! We exceeded our fundraising goal and raised over $94,000!”

The funds raised go directly to supporting students in the Saratoga community through CSOA and student matinee programs.

“A huge thank you to the teams, sponsors, donors, and supporters for helping to raise needed funds to expand children’s’ programming and boost student support for our programs done by the Collaborative School of the Arts!”

Mark your calendars — the 11th Annual Shaken & Stirred will be back Thursday, May 14, 2026!

“See you next year at Shaken & Stirred,” Foster added.
