Fletcher's Run for the Roses

Join the Fletcher Foundation as we host the inaugural Fletcher’s Run for the Roses Kentucky Derby party on Saturday, September 5, 2020. Fletcher’s Run for the Roses event is a fundraiser that will provide scholarships for Fletcher’s non-credit training programs.

Enjoy a mint julep or your favorite beverage, and savor the most elegant hors d’oeuvres as you stroll the grounds. Try your hand at croquet, horse shoes, bocce ball…lawn games from a forgotten era. Live music will echo through the campus, while you pause for a moment with your date at the portrait station.

Ladies, no Kentucky Derby event is complete without the proper attire. It’s time to pull out all the stops as you acquire or create from scratch your most elegant, yet outrageous, charming, yet outlandish hat to judged in the “Dare Me to Wear It” hat contest. Prizes will be awarded, so don’t miss out on this unique contest.
