The Pelican Derby

This year!s Spring fundraiser will have a very unique theme---a night at the races, which we are calling “The Pelican Derby”. That!s right, in addition to having our silent and live auction, we will be entertained by an evening of video horse racing. Check out the website of the group: www.aniteattheraces.com.

There are many ways to contribute to this year's event:

• Donate an item for the live auction.
• Donate an item for the silent auction.
• Sponsor a race: we will have 7 races and we need sponsors! We need corporate and business sponsors, groups of families, extended families!
• Buy a horse: we will be selling 10 horses for each of the 7 races for $100 each. Name your horse, name your jockey. Go in with friends and family! If your horse wins, you get a $200 purse!
• Come to the event: we will have lots of opportunities to enjoy the evening including placing chances on all of the horses to win with cash prizes! The evening will include cash bar, hors d’oeuvres and, of course, a best hat contest!
