Join us for a fun evening of Derby prep while supporting the women workers of the Backside.

​

In preparation for the 2020 Kentucky Derby, the Backside Learning Center is hosting a “Girls Night Out” online event on August 5th to provide handicapping tips for women and support the women who make up one third of the workers on the Backside. Funds raised from this event will support essential resources (masks, sanitizer), English classes and social services provided by the Backside Learning Center to women and their children.

​

“Girls Night Out” will feature Donna Barton Brothers, award winning sports analyst and commentator, author, and former top jockey who will provide handicapping tips for the Kentucky Derby. Donna has worked closely with the Backside Learning Center for over a decade and is deeply connected to the mission.

Girls Night Out is sponsored by LG & E/KU and Twinspires.

​

Attendees will receive an unlimited Twinspires code valued at $20 and a chance to win a gift package in a raffle.

The event will be held online and attendees are encouraged to participate by donning their favorite dress, hat or fascinator.

​

Attendees will a receive an email a week before the event with the Zoom link, the TwinSpires code, and other information to prepare for the event.

​

The event is free with a suggested donation of $20.
