Mariachi Finish Line with Mariachi Oro Azul de SJSU
To make our 30th Anniversary even more exciting we will have Mariachi OroAzul de SJSU welcoming our runners for the first hour of the 5K! Mariachi OroAzul de SJSU is a student-driven music ensemble at San José State University to preserve the tradition of Mariachi music in Mexican culture and community. You can learn about Mariachi OroAzul by watching this short video!
National Anthem
This year we welcome Yvette Fragozo to sing the National Anthem. Yvette is a recent UC Berkeley graduate who received her B.A. in Legal Studies and a Minor in Education. At 10 years old, she chose the violin and began her mariachi journey at an academy in her hometown of Gilroy, California. She was inspired to continue after singing with Mariachi Vargas backstage after one of their concerts. From that point forward she joined different youth groups throughout middle school and high school. She was also involved in church and school choir during her K-12 education. In 2020, Yvette participated in the TV show “Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento.” Yvette served as the Administrative Co-Chair for Mariachi Luz de Oro. She was a co-instructor for the mariachi history course at UC Berkeley “History of Mariachi: Learning from our Musical Roots.” She is an advocate for making mariachi music education accessible to all and preserving the history of the art form. Yvette plans to continue mariachi and pursue law school in the hopes of becoming an immigration lawyer.
HONOR A SPECIAL LUPUS PATIENT BY RELEASING A BUTTERFLY
We are planning many exciting ways to celebrate our 30th year of Outrunning Lupus. One of them will be a beautiful butterfly release ceremony. You will have the opportunity to join together and release live butterflies, symbolizing the strength of those who never give up and the courage to continue raising their voices until a cure is found. Butterflies can be purchased as an acknowledgment of your strength in pushing on with lupus, honoring someone who has lupus or remembering someone who you have lost. Get ready to be touched by the beauty and emotion of this event and show your support—it's sure to be a truly incredible occasion. We also want to encourage people to show your butterfly colors or even wear wings! Help us make this the most colorful and well attended Outrun Lupus 5K in recent memory!
Butterflies are $10.00 each and you must make your purchase by Sept. 12th.
