Getting dressed for Derby Day is part of the magic. The hat you’ve been waiting to wear. The outfit that feels just a little bolder than usual. The moment you step into something fun, confident, and completely different from your everyday.

At the Racing for the Tiniest Champions a Kentucky Derby Party benefiting Newborn Hope, it’s more than style; it’s about showing up, celebrating, and being part of something meaningful.

If you’ve been wondering what to wear (or just need an excuse to go all in), this guide will help you find your look—and your moment.

On Kangaroo Care Awareness Day, we reflect on a simple yet powerful truth: the human touch can save lives. For families with premature babies, this truth lives in every skin-to-skin cuddle, every steady heartbeat shared, and every moment of closeness that says, you’re safe in my arms. This is the heart of Kangaroo Care—a method that has changed the way the world nurtures its tiniest fighters. And today, we honor its story, its science, and the people who make it possible.

This week, we’re thrilled to honor Juliana Rothbaum, a shining example of service and compassion.

Juliana has gone above and beyond — dedicating countless hours to committees, creative designs, photography, and our programs of hope. Her empathy and unwavering commitment have touched dozens of families and strengthened our entire Newborn Hope community.
