Description

It's time to party! Join us for the Shepherd Center's annual Derby Day - Atlanta's biggest Kentucky Derby-themed fundraising event and a Shepherd Center tradition since 1983.
This popular event is filled with fancy hats, seersucker suits, mint juleps and lots of fun! For 40 years, Derby Day has stood the test of time as a festive event with food, drinks, lawn and casino games, music and of course the big race!
Since 1983, Derby Day has raised an incredible $5.2 million for Shepherd Center's Recreation Therapy program. Sporting the nation's largest recreation therapy program, Shepherd Center helps patients get back into the community by taking them on outings, teaching leisure skills and developing other skills needed in everyday life. This program is imperative for our patients and is what sets Shepherd Center apart!
Please join us for the biggest event this spring as we have fun raising funds for Shepherd Center patients.
