About the Event
Step into the winner’s circle for a day of charm and excitement at the 4th annual HopeKids Kentucky Derby Party! Enjoy heavy appetizers, beverages, a silent auction, a wine pull, and a Derby-inspired raffle. Best of all, experience the heart-pounding action of the Kentucky Derby with fellow enthusiasts!
The true victory of the day is the impact you’ll make by supporting HopeKids. The funds raised will provide events and activities for families with children battling life-threatening medical conditions. Some of our most popular events are those that allow children to ride, groom, feed, and experience horses. Beyond equestrian events, HopeKids Kansas City offers private movie screenings, tickets to sporting games and theater shows, private princess and superhero parties, and more.
This year’s Kentucky Derby Party is family-friendly and open to all ages. Don your finest Derby hat or bow tie and saddle up for a fantastic time while supporting an incredible cause!

The Kentucky Derby Party fundraiser was inspired by the life and strength of Sarah Jurgens, who spent close to four years battling cancer. Sarah’s love for horses and the comfort they gave her during treatment inspired the creation of this horse-centric event.
