The RUN 4 BEIGEL 5K Run / Walk is an annual event established in 2018, following the shooting tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A grief-stricken community mourned the lives of 17 individuals lost to gunfire that day and came together to run in honor of Coach Scott J. Beigel for saving the lives of his students, in place of his own. In the years following the tragedy, RUN 4 BEIGEL has become a worldwide event to raise funds in support of the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund. Through fundraising and events like the RUN 4 BEIGEL, the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund is able to fulfill its purpose: to help send disadvantaged children touched by gun violence to summer sleep away camp. Through the generosity and support of you and so many others, we were able to send 165 at-risk kids to camp in Summer 2021. Now we're on a mission to more than double that number for Summer 2022. Thank you so much for being a part of our RUN 4 BEIGEL family and helping us change the world, one child at a time.

In November, the International Contemporary Ensemble is back at Target Margin with a new installation by Nathan Davis, which explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials, collaborations with Nicholas Houfek’s ColorSynth, Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove, and more! On November 4th, take a journey through different visual and sonic representations of textiles, panels, and frames. As Nathan Davis explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials in his sound design for an upcoming collaborative architectural installation, Planetary Home Improvement, Marianthi Papalexandri’s Duo for Motor and Sound Panels brings audiences through a dynamic spatialization where the performer functions as a mechanism, like clockwork. Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove translates Anni Albers’ weaving patterns into custom-built drum sequences, creating sounds from hand-cranked music boxes, bamboo, rice, bowls, and hands. Physical, tactile experiences become central to these works. FREE with RSVP. In-person and livestream options available.

Award-winning jazz trumpeter and flugelhornist Duane Eubanks will be appearing in concert at the Englewood Library on Thursday, August 26, at 7:30 p.m. on the library’s front plaza. This will be the ninth installment of the Englewood Public Library’s 9th annual “Jazz Under the Stars” concert series.

After studying for a degree in Business Administration at the University of Maryland, Eubanks enrolled as a jazz major at Temple University. Relocating to New York, Eubanks formed his own quartet and in 1997 made his recording debut on his brother Robin Eubanks’ Wake Up Call. Eubanks is a veteran of Mulgrew Miller’s band Wingspan, and credits the late piano master as a primary influence and mentor. Duane’s liking for warm and melodic sounds has led him to compose a number of attractive songs, including ‘Lonelyism’, ‘Can’t Wait ’Til Dawn’ and ‘Clairvoyance’, all of which appear on his debut album. The final concert in the series will be the Vince Ector Group, on Thursday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m. For further information, email programming@englewood.bccls.org, or visit the Library’s website at www.englewoodlibrary.org
