Kentucky Derby Fundraiser

The Kentucky Derby is known as “the most exciting two minutes in sports!” The 151st run for the roses is Saturday, May 3, 2025. This is 412Thrive’s 5th Anniversary of this fundraiser. Please purchase a horse to help 412Thrive raise funds necessary to provide care packages for individuals going through chemo, radiation, mastectomy or hysterectomy surgery.

Entry fee is $25 per horse, and for that you will be randomly assigned the number of a horse for the race on May 3rd. There are normally 20 horses in the field, so each pool will be 20 slots. There will be at least a few pools, depending on the number who buy a horse. Deadline to buy a horse is 12 Noon on Race Day. Sorry, no refund if a horse DQ or doesn’t run.

Looking for Pool Owners! Think you can sell all 20 horses for you and your friends to compete against each other? Let Bev know you plan to fill a pool and who the horse owners will be for your race. We will publicize your pool for you to share with your friends.

Each pool will generate $500. Prizes: $150 for the Win (1st), $75 for Place (2nd), $25 for Show (3rd),

with $250 going to support 412Thrive. We hope you will help us raise funds for a worthy cause while cheering on your horse for the race!

Payment via Venmo preferred: @fouronetwothrive.

Email Beverly@412Thrive.org if you would like to pay a different way. Deadline for receipt of payments is 12 Noon on May 3, 2025
