November 12, 2012, CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA— On Sunday, December 9th, Calabasas High School welcomes students, staff, runners and the community-at-large to an innovative fundraiser combining music and motion.  The Music Department hosts the First Annual Music Fun Run to support student musicians and the arts at Calabasas High School’s award-winning Music Department, located at 22855 West Mulholland Highway in Calabasas. The event will feature 10K, 5K and 1K races, including a Kids Dash, along supervised courses set up on the High School campus and continuing into neighboring areas. Awards will be given to winners in each race. 

The public and the school community are invited to enjoy great music and refreshments, and encouraged to walk/run the courses in support of Music Education.  Live music to serenade the runners along the course will be featured.  Both professional musicians and CHS students will perform at the post-race gathering, including Pop Artist Katie Cole, Vocal Coach and Singer Ken Stacey (who performed with Michael Jackson and also on American Idol), and popular CHS Jazz Combos and the a capella group Unstrumental.
