The Junior League of Jackson County invites the community to an unforgettable afternoon at its annual Kentucky Derby Watch Party Fundraiser, held Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Rogue Valley Country Club. Doors open at 2:00 PM.
Guests will experience the excitement of the Kentucky Derby—known as “the most exciting two minutes in sports”—while enjoying Derby-inspired fashion, mint juleps, live auction prizes, and interactive elements like whiskey and wine walls.
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit local organizations serving women and children in the Rogue Valley, including Community Works, Maslow Project, and Magdalene Home.
“This event is not only a celebration, but an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our community, With last year’s event raising $140,000” said Rachel Murdock, President of the Junior League of Jackson County. “Every ticket purchased helps support critical programs for women and children who need it most.”
The Kentucky Derby Watch Party has quickly become one of the region’s most anticipated spring events, bringing together community members, local businesses, and supporters for a cause-driven celebration.
