About this Event

11th Annual Kentucky Derby Fundraiser Celebrating National Foster Care Month

May is National Foster Care Month - C2i is kicking off the month with our 11th Annual Kentucky Derby Run for the Roses Fundraiser! Come enjoy a Kentucky Derby Experience while giving back to youth aging out of foster care.

This year's fund the need is to support services and resources for C2i youth that are ineligible for our other funding sources.

Come dressed in your favorite Kentucky Derby attire to enter the best-dressed contest.

The party will have poker tables, a silent auction, and other fun activities, with light bites and cocktails, and of course a viewing of "the most exciting two minutes in sports"!

We will be celebrating our community partners, honoring C2i youth, and hearing from special invited guests during our program, which will start promptly at 4:00pm. You will be able to "bet" on your horse(s), and we will watch the Derby to see who will earn a chance to win some great prizes!!
