The Concept
What if every hurdle we removed moved a student closer to success?
Bet on Their Success isn't a traditional fundraiser, and guests aren't betting on horses.
During this interactive Derby experience, you'll meet some of the challenges students face on the path through college, and see how mentorship, financial support, career connections, and community can clear those hurdles.
At this Derby, every student can cross the finish line.

Place your bet
