About US

A group of young friends from Wisconsin started going to the Kentucky Derby in the early 1970s and passed on the tradition to their sons and their friends.  The next generation of Derby fans transformed the gathering into a fundraising vehicle that has raised over $100,000 for various cancer charities including Alex's Lemonade Stand, the American Cancer Society, and Pink Paddling Power.  Please stop by, grab a drink, have some fun and help us to raise money to fight cancer!
