Fundraising
The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs NBHS Band Fundraiser
Each year, students and family members work the Kentucky Derby and those few races preceding it in order to raise money for the band program. This is a unique opportunity not available to many other organizations. Our ongoing participation in this event ensures we maintain our status with Churchill Downs and that this fundraiser remains a strong tradition for our band program.
In order for students to work, they must be 16 years of age and be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21. Students who are 18 do not need to be accompanied by an adult. The job is essentially to run food and empty trays back and forth from the kitchen to the buffet. While the work is taxing, this fundraiser has earned the band large sums of money annually. If you are interested in working any of these events, please register using the google form below. Please remember, Churchill Downs awards bonuses for groups that consistently bring the number of volunteers they register. Please, DO NOT register for a time if you are not certain you will be there.
Dates and times to work and fundraise for the band are as follows:
Opening Night, April 27, 5PM - 11:30PM
Thurby, May 2, 11AM - 6:30PM
Oaks, May 3, 8AM - 7:23PM
Derby, May 4, 8AM - 8:20PM
