Theme

The theme of An Evening at the Derby captures the spirit of resilience, strength, and hope as we race through life's most challenging moments. The iconic Kentucky Derby serves as a metaphor for the personal journey through grief—a path that requires courage, determination, and endurance. This evening is not just a celebration of the Derby's elegance and excitement, but also a reminder that grief, like any race, can be a solitary journey—but it doesn’t have to be. The funds raised will support Horizon’s Grief Resource Center, providing individuals with the resources and support they need to navigate their personal race of healing.

Background

Our 18th Anniversary Matters of the Heart Gala will support our local, non-profit Grief Resource Center. Our Grief Resource Center is currently the only grief counseling center in the State of Wisconsin free to members of our community, touching the lives of thousands of people annually. Horizon’s Center relies 100% on donations to keep its doors open. Now more than ever, our Grief Resource Center is needed to help those struggling with loss. We will be awarding Touching Lives Award Honorees for their work in the community.

We are currently looking for items and unique experiences to showcase in our auction. Please reach out to marcy.stutzman@hhch.net with any questions.
