In the Know Inc. - The First Annual Kentucky Derby African Style Fundraiser

The First Annual Kentucky Derby African Style Fundraiser: A Celebration of Culture, Community, and Health Equity

As the sun shines over the historic Bronzeville, come see the vibrant fabrics and bold patterns transform the traditional Kentucky Derby experience into something revolutionary—The First Annual Kentucky Derby African Style Fundraiser for In the Know Inc. This isn't just about horse racing and high fashion; it is about purpose, empowerment, and a commitment to eliminating health disparities in underserved and communities of color.

Be there as guests arrive in a stunning display of cultural fusion—wide-brimmed derby hats wrapped in Ankara prints, flowing Kente dresses, and dapper suits with intricate African embroidery. The air buzzes with excitement, not just for the Derby but for the mission that has brought everyone together. In the Know Inc. is dedicated to educating communities of color on cancer prevention, the importance of genetic testing, and the need for equitable access to healthcare.

May 3rd, we are raising awareness and funds to expand our outreach, ensuring that more Black and Brown communities receive the education and resources needed to take charge of their health.

The will day kick off with the rhythmic pulse of afro beats, setting the stage for powerful stories on resilience through cancer journeys and the push for health equity. As a guest you will sip on Purple Ponies or a drink of your choice as you browse silent auction items—all tied to In the Know Inc.’s commitment to integrating ancestral knowledge with modern healthcare solutions.

As we gather for the live broadcast of the race, we know the real victory isn’t on the track—it is in the impact we will make together. Every ticket purchased, every donation made, every bid placed is a step toward closing the gap in healthcare access for communities too often left behind.

As the day draws to a close, continue to dance to the sounds of Afrobeats and African music, celebrating not just the success of the event, but the movement it will spark. The Kentucky Derby African Style Fundraiser isn’t just a day of elegance and entertainment—it is a powerful statement of unity, culture, and a shared commitment to a healthier future.

And so, a new tradition is born—one that will not only redefine Derby celebrations but also drive lasting change in the fight for health equity!
