Silks & Irons: Seton Youth Services’ 25th Annual Kentucky Derby Celebration

Raise your glass and spend an exciting and unforgettable evening celebrating the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 4th, 2024, all while helping Seton Youth Services fulfill its mission of providing safe haven, counseling and outreach services, 24 hours a day, without charge, to assist youth in crisis throughout Hampton Roads, with the goal of reuniting families.

Be our guest and enjoy authentic mint juleps, a Derby Hat Contest, live horse races, a giant screen broadcast of the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs, and more, all while enabling us to provide prevention, intervention, shelter and counseling to youth in crisis and their families 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no charge to the child or their family.

Since 1999, Seton Youth Services, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, has brought together 200 of the area’s most festive and philanthropically-minded guests for a spring celebration of all things “Kentucky Derby” to benefit our shelter, mentoring and outreach programs, which serve and save thousands of Hampton Roads’ youth each year. Seton Youth Services is the region’s only organization devoted exclusively to providing shelter, outreach, and mentoring services to youth ages 9 up to 18–always free of charge.
