Our Mission Race for the Arts is a nonprofit organization that raises funds and awareness for California nonprofit performing, cultural, and visual arts organizations and for school music, drama, and art programs. Race for the Arts 2011 Join us as Race for the Arts celebrates its 13th Year! If you enjoy theatre, dance, art — if you enjoy exercise, Race for the Arts is for you. Be entertained by costumed characters, music, art, dance, and interactive booths. Enjoy the race course as it winds through the beautiful, shady, tree-lined, historic William Land Park, adjacent to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town. As runners and walkers make their way through the park toward the finish line, they will enjoy live music with a culmination of live entertainment in the amphitheater next to Fairytale Town. Over 42 interactive booths showcase arts organizations and school programs. This is your opportunity to support your favorite arts organization and/or school program. Run or walk and raise funds for any California nonprofit visual, performing and cultural arts organizations or school music, drama and art programs. 100% of pledge monies benefit your designated organization. Pledges are not a requirement of the Race, but they're a great way to raise awareness and funds for your organization and school program. The donation program is optional and supplemental to the event entry fee. Donations/Pledge Forms It is through pledged donations that organizations and schools benefit.
