Derby Down 2010

The La Feliz Guild of Children’s Hospital Central California is off to the races and running for high stakes to benefit the health and well being of our Valley’s children. On Saturday, May 1st, we invite you to join us for an afternoon of horse racing’s premier extravaganza, “Run for the Roses.” As you begin to plan for your 2010 charitable giving, we hope you will consider including La Feliz Guild of Children’s Hospital Central California.

We’re tipping our party hats again to a cherished and long-standing American tradition, the Kentucky Derby. Last year 650 guests gathered for an afternoon of Makers Mark® authentic Kentucky Mint Juleps and fine southern cuisine. Take a stroll along our shopping promenade and view the latest models from our Valley’s luxury automobile showrooms. A lucky bet will be just a ticket away with our private satellite wagering on the Kentucky Derby as well as other prestigious races.

We couldn’t raise the funds Children’s Hospital needs without the compassion and vision of people and businesses like you. We’re grateful for your support of the hospital and of La Feliz Guild. Your generosity has helped us complete the Heliport Project and provide safe landings for children coming in for care. We invite you to join us again this year as we continue working with the other Guilds in funding a $5 million pledge for The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Endowment. Sponsorship opportunities are available for $10,000, $5,000, $2,500 and $1,800. If you have any questions, please contact Allison Karahadian, Sponsor Chairperson, at (559) 434-0298. Please consider a sponsorship.
