Talk Derby To Me

Harvey's Kentucky Derby themed benefit, A Night at the Races, offers a unique opportunity to celebrate The Harvey School and support our community in spectacular style. Come enjoy Mint Juleps, betting on your favorite horse or silent/live auction item, a delicious Derby inspired menu, music, and dancing.

This year, the proceeds of the evening will be dedicated entirely to supporting the needs of our teachers as they create programming and a classroom environment that challenges our students to discover who they are and become their best selves. Your support changes lives!

ABSOLUTELY! Come join the fun and celebrate with your Harvey family.

Suggested attire for the evening is "Derby Dapper." For men - bow ties or not, jackets, and casual dress slacks. Women will wear colorful garden dresses, a hat or even a fascinator. It's an evening of fun and raucous cheering for your horse as well as your favorite school. Be as colorful as you like - and remember - "the bigger the hat, the bigger the bet!"

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Fenstermacher Athletic Center. We will begin with a cocktail reception including a silent auction and some friendly wagering on your favorite horse. You know what they say about the Kentucky Derby...it is the only place where people party for 5 hours for a 2 minute race! After the race, shop the auctions, enjoy Harvey's version of "Southern hospitality" with a delicious buffet, live auction, and wonderful music and dancing with A Current Affair, a renowned high energy dance band that performs music for everyone to get us all dancing and having fun.

Yes! Silent Auction items will be available online for bidding, both in advance and during the evening. Live Auction items are only available on-site at the Benefit. If you are unable to attend but see a live item you are interested in, we can help.
