Due to the COVID-19 healthcare pandemic and related challenges, there will not be a live Unbridled Eve this year. This decision was made in part since there is no clear road map to holding a socially distanced gala that guarantees the health and welfare of attendees. The safety and comfort level of our guests, volunteers, performers, and staff are of the utmost importance to us, and we believe this is the most responsible action to take.  Stay tuned for more developments for a 2020 online auction and possible virtual event. We look forward to seeing you in person at Unbridled Eve 2021!

Beneficiaries

Every year the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala Executive Committee selects the charitable beneficiaries to receive proceeds from the event.

Blessings in a Backpack and the Jennifer Lawrence Arts Fund at the Fund for the Arts have once again been selected as the primary beneficiaries of the 2018 Unbridled Eve Derby Gala.

Through Blessings in a Backpack, a child in need can be fed on weekends for one year for just $100. Since 2012, the money donated by Unbridled Eve has provided 76,000 hunger-free weekends for kids across the nation, including Roosevelt Perry Elementary School in Louisville. Students enrolled in this program also show improved health, increased attendance, higher reading levels and better test scores.
