The evening will feature heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and Kentucky Derby-themed games and activities. Guests can participate in a silent auction, 50/50 drawing, drink auctions, and a dessert dash, along with additional surprises throughout the night.
Derby-themed attire is encouraged, and prizes will be awarded for best hat and best dressed.
Tickets are $50 each and are available in person at Woodlawn Arts Academy. Payment must be made by cash or check. Space is limited and advance reservations are recommended.
New this year, attendees can join the Art Dash for an additional $50. The Art Dash is a fast-paced fundraiser where participants compete for original, handmade artwork. When a participant’s number is called, they race to select one-of-a-kind pieces created by local and regional artists. A limited number of Art Dash tickets are available.
