The Belle Vernon Area Charitable Fund is off to the races! The trust is set to host its first-ever Derby Day, a Kentucky Derby-themed fundraiser, on May 5 at Amulet Farms on Rostraver Road in Rostraver Township.
All proceeds of the event will benefit the Belle Vernon Area School District students and staff members by providing financial support for district initiatives and promoting the arts and academics beyond what is possible through government resources.
Several highlight events of the day include a live celebrity harness race featuring community leaders on Amulet’s racetrack, airing of the 144th Kentucky Derby on jumbo-tron television, a Derby hat fashion contest with a grand prize of a $250 Nemacolin gift card, food, beer and wine, live music by the band Rustic River and much more.
Participants will also be able to meet the farm’s horses, as well as tour the facilities. Gates open at 2 p.m., with activities beginning at 3 p.m.
Guests must be 21 years of age or older and identification is required at the gate. Advance tickets are available now at $20 each and the first 200 attendees at the gate will receive a free commemorative t-shirt.
