Deb & Anthony's Derby Brunch
Our signature fundraiser — hats, roses, and a room full of people who believe in students. Every sponsorship sold becomes a scholarship awarded to a nurse, an apprentice, or an undergraduate right here in Kentucky.
Next brunch date and venue are being confirmed. Reach out to hold your table or be added to the invitation list.
Why it matters
One afternoon in Derby week funds a full year of possibility.
The cost of a table becomes a semester that does not get interrupted. Sponsors are not just guests — they are the reason a scholar can say yes to nursing school, to a welding certificate, or to the final year of a degree.
Scholarships
Every dollar raised goes toward the three scholarship tracks.
Local
Hosted in Louisville, with scholars and families from across Kentucky.
Tax-deductible
Gifts are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Annual tradition
A gathering that has grown with every class of scholars.
Sponsorship
Packages made the way an invitation should feel.
Choose the level that fits your family or business. Each one is a direct investment in a Kentucky scholar.
