We're off to the races y'all!
Don your big hats & bowties for a great cause. Join YWCA as we watch and celebrate the 149th Kentucky Derby - the Run For The Roses.
Event Tickets
Individual tickets and Reserved Tables of ten guests are available. Guests must be 21 to attend.
Menu
Guests will enjoy a custom menu of hors d' oeuvres, plated dinner & dessert, created by Butler Country Club Executive Chef James Houghton to celebrate the Derby. During the checkout process, there is an opportunity to note dietary restrictions. The nod to tradition will continue as each guest receives one complimentary signature cocktail, with a choice of a Mint Julep or Oaks Lily. A cash bar will be available the rest of the evening.
Attire
Dress in your Derby best! Prizes will be awarded for best hat, best bow tie/pocket square & best dressed couple.
​
Entertainment
Guests will enjoy the pageantry and sing along to "My Old Kentucky Home" while the event streams in the ballroom. We'll have baskets, betting games, and other fun raffles to enjoy.
​
Around 6:45pm, we'll cheer on "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports!" as we watch the 149th Kentucky Derby. Then, after the winner is crowned, DJ Rikki from Cabaret DJ will keep us moving and grooving on the dance floor.
