About this Event

The Winston-Salem Chapter of The Links, Incorporated—one of the nation’s premier volunteer service organizations of professional women—invites you to join us for our signature White Rose Derby Party and Fundraiser on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Maple Chase Golf & Country Club.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as the chapter proudly commemorates 76 years of dedicated service to the Winston-Salem community.

Inspired by the elegance and excitement of the Kentucky Derby, the White Rose Derby Party and Fundraiser brings together members, community leaders, partners, and friends in the spirit of friendship, service, and purposeful philanthropy. Through our partnership with The Links Foundation, Incorporated, proceeds from the evening will support scholarship initiatives and community-focused programs advancing education, leadership development, and service throughout the Winston-Salem area.

Guests will enjoy an elevated Derby-themed experience featuring live viewing of the Kentucky Derby on the big screen, music, curated cuisine, a festive Parade of Derby Hats, raffles, and a highly anticipated silent auctionshowcasing exclusive items and experiences.

The evening will also feature two signature cocktails—the Links Mint Julep and the Kentucky Mule—alongside a full cash bar.

So don your finest Derby attire and Run for the Roses with The Links for an unforgettable evening of style, celebration, and community impact.
