Join us for the 8^th Annual Derby for Diabetes, Colorado Springs’ ONLY Kentucky Derby Party. This year promises even more excitement featuring many new hats, games, and prizes.

Fashion is key at any derby party. Bring out your big hats and spring colors as prizes will be awarded to both ladies and gentlemen for Best Hat & Best Overall Attire. This year, you will be able to vote on the best fashions by buying tickets to cast a vote for your favorite hat, your Best Dressed Woman and Best Dressed Man.

“Bet” on your favorite horse and cheer him on for a chance to win prizes for win, place and show. Enjoy food and drink derby-style and bring home your own commemorative derby glass.
