Shepherd Center’s annual Derby Day – the largest attended and longest-running fundraising event in Shepherd Center history – is Atlanta’s biggest Kentucky Derby-themed fundraising event.

Derby Day is a highlight of Atlanta’s spring social calendar, complete with fancy hats, seersucker suits, mint juleps and plenty of fun. Join us for lawn and casino games, music, and a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby. Since 1983, Derby Day has raised an incredible $5 million for Shepherd Center’s Recreation Therapy Program.
