Tickets Going Fast For ‘And They’re Off!’ – A Derby Day Party at The Lodge to Benefit Saratoga Sponsor A Scholar
SARATOGA SPRINGS – This is where you want to be. And you can get there – but you better hurry!
Permit me to tout you on the fact that less than 50 tickets remain for ‘And They’re Off!’ – A Derby Day Party at The Lodge to Benefit Saratoga Sponsor A Scholar (SSAS). One of the great parties of the year, in which you can wager, eat, drink and revel inside the classic venue, as well as outside in a well-appointed tent- and enjoy the spectacle that is Kentucky Derby Day (which this year falls on Saturday, May 5.) Currently, the plan is for general admission tickets (at $125) to go on sale next Monday, April 2nd – but chances are, if you wait till then – they will all be gone.
But fear not, for we have discovered a way to guarantee your spot: According to Ms. Mary Gavin and the other members of the event committee, you are invited to become a member of the Honorary Committee, where, for a $300 donation you will receive two event tickets and get your name up on event signage. In this context, it is worth noting “In the past, this party has had beer and wine,” noted Mary Gavin “But through the generosity of Saratoga Eagle and Lemery Greisler, this year it’s a complete open bar!”
Not only does this guarantee your spot, you will be helping a great cause. Saratoga Sponsor A Scholar (See SaratogaSponsoraScholar.org/) has for over 10 years, helped local scholars achieve their educational and career goals – regardless of economic circumstances.
The point is: Don’t gamble, and likely get shut out. Invest in your future Derby fun by investing in our future leaders today!
Don’t get left at the gate…
