The Brief
Provide the horse trailer bar with bartending services. Since this is the Kentucky Derby, the signature cocktail to be served is the Mint Julep. A special request for Canadian Rye as a substitute to American Bourbon, in order to support Canadian Spirits.
The Event
The PERFECT venue for our horse trailer bar Ivy Pearl. The fundraising event was held at a Horse Arena, surrounded by horses. Beautifully set up with catering, live music and dancing, a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby horse race. All to raise money for local community services.
The results
“With your generous support—we raised over $82,000 to help fund vital CCS programs that serve individuals and families in our community.
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making the evening such a success:
Bell Creek Arena for hosting us in such a beautiful venue
Our generous and committed sponsors
Frankies Italian Restaurant for the incredible catering
Tamp and Muddle for their top-notch bar service
Our live auction donors, for generously donating items
Ken Pearson, our outstanding live auctioneer
Mood Therapy, for bringing the music and energy
Our dedicated volunteers, who made it all happen behind the scenes
And of course, you—our amazing guests—for showing up, bidding generously, and bringing such joy and spirit to the event
A big shout out to our amazing photographer Nicola Hansen, who captured the magic of the evening so beautifully.”
