The Rockledge Rotary Foundation’s 2024 Space Coast Derby Day on May 4 coincides with the running of the Kentucky Derby. The event (from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.) will combine in-person and virtual participation. Beneficiaries include the Salvation Army in Brevard, Crosswinds Youth Services, the Children’s Hunger Project, and the Brevard Zoo’s Legacy Aquarium Project.

The Derby Day After Party at The Twisted Birch  will feature a live & silent auction and a party with heavy gourmet hors d’oeuvres. Get ready for a bourbon tasting area along with all the other fun activities you’ve come to enjoy at our event–a live stream of the Kentucky Derby, the wheelbarrow of cheer raffle, hat contest, 50/50 raffle, charitable wagering, food, drinks, and more. 

Last year thanks to the support of local sponsors and donors, the event proceeds meant that over $40k went to local non-profits on Florida’s Space Coast.

Help keep the momentum in 2024 by becoming a sponsor this year. There are four different levels of sponsorship opportunities available. Pick which one is right for you. From their website, you can become a sponsor, register for the online auction, or buy a 50/50 raffle ticket. https://www.rockledgerotary.com/derby-day

The Children’s Hunger Project is partnering with the Battle Bros once again for the Space Coast Burger Battle on Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19. Adults who want to volunteer are also welcome to attend the event before/after shift free of charge.
