Racing for the Tiniest Champions

Derby hats. Champagne toasts. The thrill of the race, and the quiet, powerful knowledge that your presence is helping a tiny champion grow stronger.

On May 2, join Newborn Hope and The Abriendo Inn for Racing for the Tiniest Champions — a Kentucky Derby celebration where tradition meets impact.

This is what community looks like

Celebrate With Purpose

Derby Day is tradition. It’s elegance. It’s anticipation. It’s gathering with friends in a setting that feels special.

But this year, it’s more.

When you join us on May 2 at The Abriendo Inn, you’re not just attending a party. You’re choosing to be part of something meaningful.

Picture this:

• A stunning courtyard filled with spring color
• Beautiful hats and bold style
• Champagne toasts and Derby-inspired bites
• The thrill of the race on the jumbo screen
• A room full of people who care about community

And beneath it all — the quiet knowledge that your presence is helping a premature baby grow stronger.

This is the kind of event you leave talking about.

Why Your Ticket Matters

Some champions race on tracks.

Others begin life weighing just a few pounds.

15% of ticket sales and 100% of silent auction proceeds from Racing for the Tiniest Champions supports Newborn Hope and the families we serve across Colorado.

Through programs like Kangaroo Care resources, scent hearts, and direct family support, we help parents feel less alone during the earliest and most fragile days of their baby’s life.

When you attend, you’re doing more than enjoying Derby Day.

You’re:

• Standing beside NICU families
• Helping a baby receive life-giving connection
• Turning celebration into tangible support

Because every champion starts small.

Join us. Your ticket becomes part of their story.
