A charity with local links is holding their second A Day at the Derby on Saturday, May 7th.
The “Derby” will run from noon to 4:00 pm in Ashland. To get in the spirit they are encouraging ladies to don derby hats and fellows to dandy up with a bowtie.
The fundraiser is for KeepSmilin4Abbie.org. (As you may recall, the charity is a tribute to the life of Abbie Benford.) Funds raised are to help with early detection of anaphylasis, increased awareness of the severity of anaphylaxis, and scholarships for high school students.
In Abby’s spirit, the charity’s fundraisers have focused around enjoying life. This one is no exception.
Festivities include festive food, signature cocktails, live music, Silent Auction & Raffle items, their all NEW “Spin to Win” game, Lawn Games and more.
The Derby will be held at Warren Conference Center, 529 Chestnut Street, Ashland. To learn more and buy tickets, click here.
