The Purpose Derby

Join Us at the Purpose Derby!
Come be a part of the Purpose Derby, Bend’s most spirited Kentucky Derby watch party supporting StirrUp Purpose—a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing purpose and healing through therapeutic and adaptive riding and equine programs for children and adults with disabilities, veterans, first responders and individuals experiencing homelessness.

This Kentucky Derby watch party will take place on May 2 at the Commonwealth Pub. It will include live and silent auctions, a derby hat contest, fun games and activities, as well as food truck fare and signature cocktails – all around the excitement of race day and all to support StirrUp Purpose programs.

Your participation will help support the programming, supplies, equine care and qualified staffing costs of our services. Importantly, this will allow us to serve more participants and make an even bigger impact in our community.
