Kindness Derby - 2026

The Kindness Derby at Farm To Able

You’re invited to celebrate a kinder way forward. Trade the traditional Derby for a day rooted in compassion, connection, and community.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind celebration hosted by Deveney Shea, Ms. Earth 2024, former Ms. USA Earth, and National Director of Mrs. USA Earth®, at Farm To Able Animal Sanctuary a 501(c)(3) non-profit farmed animal sanctuary.

Instead of cheering on horse racing, we’re choosing kindness and compassion. Honoring animals as life companions, not entertainment.

Come enjoy an afternoon of stylish spring outfits and big hats (encouraged but optional), photo moments, refreshing drinks, and the chance to meet horses and other rescued residents living safely at the sanctuary.

This event brings together glamor, purpose, and heart while supporting the mission of Farm To Able Animal Sanctuary and bringing awareness to the abuse and exploitation of the Kentucky Derby and other similiar for-profit-organizations. FTA is providing the space for compassionate connection alongside these rescued souls who are a product of this exploitation.

Whether you come dressed to impress or come as you are but come ready to experience compassionate connections!

• Meet horses and sanctuary residents who join them

• Light refreshments

• Photo opportunities

• Derby-inspired fashion + hats (not required but funsies!)

• A meaningful & compassionate cause
