Step into an unforgettable afternoon at Churchill Downs for SPARC Hope’s annual gala, Boots & Bowties: A Day at the Races.

This one-of-a-kind daytime event blends Derby elegance with western charm, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and friends for an afternoon of racing, connection, and impact. Guests will enjoy the excitement of race day from the Finish Line Suites while supporting single parent families working toward education, stability, and independence.

The event will feature live and silent auctions, a bourbon pull, race day experiences, inspiring stories, and opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families.

Whether you arrive in boots, bows, or bow ties, we invite you to join us for a stylish and purpose-driven day at the track.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities will be available soon.
