Oaks Experience

Oaks Partners

Showing Support

One principle at the heart of the Kentucky Oaks event is support for charities
and the life-long commitment many women have made to raise money and awareness for causes that are important to them and their families.

Over the last three years, Churchill Downs has donated over $427,000 to charitable organizations through its Oaks day initiatives. This year, Churchill Downs will again contribute $1 for every Oaks attendee and $1 for every Oaks Lily® beverage sold to charity.  In 2011 alone, Churchill Downs contributed more than $100,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and $30,000 to Horses and Hope.  We need YOUR help to increase thesetotals in 2012!

We encourage Oaks fans everywhere to show their support by attending the Oaks in person. Help us make a difference!  Come to Oaks 138 on May 4 and join the fight against cancer!
