Join the Guardian ad Litem Foundation for the most memorable Kentucky Derby Party in Southwest Florida. Come and share the splendor of the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby with live entertainment, contests and a great night of Las Vegas-style gaming.
Watch the last race of the Kentucky Derby on a large screen at 6:21 p.m. Guests will have a chance to predict the winner and win a chance to split one-half the race pot with the charity. The evening will include guessing the winner of six additional horse races as well as playing blackjack, slots and poker—all for GREAT Prize opportunities.
A Derby Hat contest, tasty food, drink and a Dixieland band will round out the evening…and there is a rumor that Elvis will be in the building!
This great fundraiser will benefit Guardian ad Litem Program of the 20th Judicial Circuit of Florida—Lee, Glades, Hendry, Charlotte and Collier Counties. The program recruits and trains volunteer child advocates who are paired with an attorney and an advocacy coordinator for the purpose of representing abused, neglected and abandoned children in court, school, the child welfare system and the community.
General admission tickets and ticket packages in which patrons are given the opportunity to name a horse are available for purchase online at www.voicesforkids.org/viva-la-derby. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Terry Brennen, Development Director, Terry@galfoundation20.org.
As a United Way partner, the Foundation’s goal is to raise funds necessary to ensure every child in the dependency system has a qualified volunteer advocate and all volunteers are trained and certified.
