Guests cheer on the horses for the 150th Kentucky Derby!
On Saturday, May 4th, an exclusive gathering of over 120 individuals took place at the Tampa Yacht & Country Club. This was not just another event but our iconic Run for the Roses - Kentucky Derby Soirée.
The event captured the spirit of the Kentucky Derby as guests donned their finest Derby attire, complete with eye-catching hats and elegant outfits. The evening was a delightful fusion of festivity, encapsulating the essence of the Derby in every aspect.
Guests mingled while watching thrilling pre-race announcements, allowing everyone to feel the excitement of the track. They sipped mint juleps, smoked local hand-rolled cigars, enjoyed delicious food, played iconic casino games and participated in the horse race Calcutta, making for an unforgettable experience.
The evening also included luxury auction items ranging from Corkcicle totes and tumblers, a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico, a team-signed Lightning hockey stick, a weekend getaway package in Georgia and more!
Every ticket purchased, auction bid made and donation given by you and our generous supporters helped us raise over $50,000. This significant amount ensures that children, families and seniors in our community have the resources they need to thrive, a testament to your impactful involvement.
