Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite holiday sweaters and festive attire for this 5K run/walk that supports helping kids go to summer camp that otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend. Every summer, for 13 years, we help hundreds of youth in our community go on adventures where they can explore new talents and interests. People can register as individuals or teams, but teammates must be linked together with either a garland or ribbon throughout the race.

No one is turned away due to the inability to pay; our services are available to everyone and all proceeds from this event will provide scholarships for kids to attend YMCA summer camps.
Teams can range from 3 -10 participants.

<p>UK Opera Theatre’s production is directed by Richard Gammon. Performances will be November 9, 10, and 11, 2018, celebrating Veteran’s Day and the 100th Anniversary of the truce ending World War I, making the event especially poignant.</p>
<p>The University of Kentucky Opera Theatre presents the international sensation honoring the centennial of World War I’s conclusion. <i>Silent Night</i> recounts a miraculous moment of peace during one of the bloodiest wars in human history. The year is 1914 and the Great War has just been declared, dividing nations and sending millions into battle. As Christmas Eve falls on a battle field near Belgium, soldiers in French, German, and Scottish trenches begin recalling songs of home, stepping into no-man’s-land for a spontaneous truce. The Pulitzer-Prize winning music underscores the yearning, despair, and hope of the soldiers living in the trenches. Once sworn enemies, they trade their weapons for merriment and camaraderie—resulting in one miraculous night of peace.</p>
<p>Reserved Seating. All seats are priced by location. Discounts for UK Faculty and Staff available exclusively through the SCFA ticket office.</p>
