  • Prime at Saratoga National Golf Club

    458 Union Avenue, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

As one of the premiere events of the Saratoga summer, I hope that you will join Honorary Chairs Greg and Marilyn Connors as we dine and delight while mingling with friends and special guests from the world of Thoroughbred Racing.

This year, we are proud to honor Stewart’s Shops as our Community Hero. Stewart's is an establishment that has not only been a steadfast supporter of CAPTAIN CHS but has also made an immeasurable impact on our community through their generosity, compassion, and commitment to giving back. Their dedication reminds us that true change happens when people choose to act, to uplift, and to invest in the well-being of others.

We hope to make this year’s Gala the most spectacular and successful ever with Saratoga National’s award-winning golf course offering unsurpassed views and world class cuisine in an open-air tent. Of course, we’ll also have new and exciting items for our auction and raffle, entertainment by the J Yager Duo, a captivating program emceed by Spectrum News 1 anchor, Dan Bazile with special guest Thoroughbred trainer Gary Contessa, and many more surprises!
