As Good as Gold - Golden Retriever Rescue of Illinois

May 1st - May 8th

Mark your calendars for our largest fundraiser of the year, A Golden Gala - “Derby Days”. Join us at the starting gate where we will begin our virtual silent auction on May 1st, coinciding with the Kentucky Derby. Grab a Mint Julep or a Kentucky Mule and bid on a selection of wonderful items. This promises to be an exciting race. Help us make this fundraiser a success.

A generous supporter, The Miller Group Charitable Trust, has agreed to match the first $20,000 in donations. Take this opportunity to have your contribution doubled. We are confident that with your help we can meet this goal to provide rescued goldens with all the necessary care and medical support they need.

Kentucky Derby Facts
• The Kentucky Derby was started by Lewis Clark Jr., the grandson of William Clark, of the famous explorer duo Lewis and Clark—after he saw England's Epsom Derby.
• The 1919 champion, Sir Barton, was the first Triple Crown winner; however, he hadn't won a race before arriving at the derby.
