Why this package wins for nonprofits
Some experiences are more than a getaway—they are a piece of American tradition. This package puts two guests at the 2027 Kentucky Derby at historic Churchill Downs, where the pageantry is as unforgettable as the race itself. From the elegance of Kentucky Oaks on Friday to Derby Day on Saturday, this is a chance to be part of one of the world’s most celebrated sporting events. With a 3-night hotel stay for two, reserved covered seating in the Starting Gate Courtyard, all-inclusive concessions, beverages, parking with shuttle service, and VIP Fast Access, this offering pairs iconic atmosphere with exceptional ease. For the bidder who loves signature events, bucket-list moments, and the thrill of saying “we were there,” this is the kind of package that turns heads the moment it appears.
The experience your winner walks into
You arrive in Louisville and feel the anticipation building long before the first race begins. The city is buzzing, the style is unmistakable, and Churchill Downs welcomes you with the timeless energy of a grand tradition. On race days, you take your reserved seats in the Starting Gate Courtyard, covered and comfortable, with the excitement unfolding all around you. There are extravagant hats, mint juleps, cheers rising from the crowd, and the unmistakable thunder of horses charging down the track. Between races, you enjoy classic concession fare and beverages included with your experience, never missing a moment of the celebration. Kentucky Oaks sets the stage on Friday, then Saturday brings Derby Day in all its glory—fashion, fanfare, Southern charm, and finally those electrifying moments that make the Kentucky Derby legendary. It’s festive, polished, and unforgettable from start to finish.
