An Afternoon at the Races blends tradition, entertainment, and philanthropy into one dynamic afternoon. An Afternoon at the Races is an exciting, Kentucky Derby–inspired fundraising event that brings together the elegance of Churchill Downs with the thrill of simulated horse racing — all in support of a meaningful cause. Guests are invited to don their finest Derby attire, complete with bold hats, bow ties, and seersucker suits, for an unforgettable afternoon of Southern charm and spirited competition. The highlight of the event is a series of pre-recorded simulated horse races projected on large screens throughout the venue. Each race features a field of uniquely named horses, and attendees will use their funny money to wager on their favorites. With every race, the room comes alive with cheers, friendly rivalries, and anticipation as guests watch the action unfold and see if their picks cross the finish line first. Between races, guests will enjoy themed cocktails like mint juleps, Southern-inspired cuisine, raffles, silent auctions, shop at the Churchill Downs Hat Bar and take a chance on the Heads or Tails coin flip. To end the event, we will air the Kentucky Derby live. Designed to be high-energy yet approachable, the simulated racing format allows for the excitement of the Kentucky Derby experience without live animals or gambling complexities. An Afternoon at the Races blends tradition, entertainment, and philanthropy into one dynamic afternoon — where every wager supports a worthy cause and every guest becomes part of a winning story. 🏇🌹
