Paint & Sip - Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST)!

Paint with Purpose
Join us for a special evening of creativity, connection, and community — all in support of the Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST)!

On Tuesday, August 5, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM, we’re bringing Paint & Sip to the iconic Saratoga Race Course Fourstardave — and you’re invited! Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking for a fun night out, this event is for you. No experience is necessary — our professional instructor, Artsy Starr, will guide you step-by-step to create your own trackside masterpiece.

Your $70 ticket includes:
• A 2-hour, instructor-led painting class
• All painting materials (canvas, brushes, paints)
• Light refreshments and beverages
• A relaxing, memorable evening in a beautiful setting

Plus! Guests can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to enjoy a champagne toast on the roof overlooking Saratoga Race Course, followed by a rare opportunity to step into the announcer’s booth and hear NYRA’s Frank Mirahmadi call the 3rd race live.

All proceeds directly support BEST’s mission to provide health and wellness services to the essential backstretch workers who keep Saratoga’s racing industry running.

Spaces are limited — so grab a friend (or a few!) and reserve your spot today. Come for the fun, stay for the cause.

Equestrian events are popular in America due to a combination of increased social media visibility, growing awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of horseback riding, and significant economic impact.

Social platforms have created a community and inspired new generations, while the sport's wellness aspects have gained more recognition. Additionally, large-scale events continue to drive growth and interest.
