MVP Health Care’s YogaPalooza is sponsored by, The Hot Yoga Spot, The Hollow Bar + Kitchen, WEQX, and the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District.
With the safety and well-being of our community in mind, we have transformed our signature charity event into a virtual experience.

The annual bowlathon is the major fundraiser for Mentoring at UCS, a program which matches children with adult mentors. Our program makes a difference in this community. Higher grades, lower chance of substance abuse and an increase in self esteem are just some of the rewards in our program. Mentoring changes the lives of the youth we mentor, and in many cases it also changes the lives of our mentors. All dollars raised stay local to support mentoring in our community.
This year will be our 33rd annual bowlathon and our event theme this year is Under the Sea! Participants are encouraged to dress up as magical mermaids, vibrant fish, adventurous scuba divers and more! There will be prizes for highest fundraisers, a silent auction, team spirit awards and more!
The grand prize for the highest overall fundraiser this year is a 7 night cruise for two to the Bahamas on Norweigan Cruise Lines in October of 2020.The prize includes travel to NYC to catch the boat and the ship will make stops in Great Stirrup Cay and Naussau. (For additional fee, dates may be changed).

Creative KickStart is a weekend-long design sprint to rebrand a well-deserving, local small business or nonprofit organization.
At Sidekick Creative, we are abundantly aware of the good work done by so many in our community, who don’t have the time or resources to dedicate to comprehensive marketing efforts. As a way to address this need, we will partner with a local small business or nonprofit to provide a comprehensive re-brand of the organization, including an updated logo, new website, redesigned print collateral, a library of high-quality photography, social media assets and advertising materials.
Over the course of a single weekend, the entire re-brand process will take place; making for a seamless transition for the participants and an exciting challenge for the design team.
We know that design and marketing is vital to a business’ success — but sometimes small businesses and organizations just don’t have the time and resources for it. We are looking to help a small business or nonprofit in our region that meets the following qualifications:
