From time at Churchill Downs to a signed saddle towel from our jockeys, this is the power of our sport and community coming together to make something truly unforgettable.
Derby week is a magical time of year, and we were honored to help create an unforgettable memory with Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
12-year-old Taylor's wish came true with the full Derby experience at Churchill Downs, time to explore the Kentucky Derby Museum, and a chance to make her own fascinator. 🐎
As a surprise, jockeys signed a very special saddle towel for Taylor to show their support. ✨
