Vincenzo Gabriele is really going all out to make this a memorable evening for everyone. It promises to be a lot of fun and it's all for a great cause."

Tickets for the event are still available.  Tickets cost $150 per person or $1,500 for a corporate table of 10. Dress is business casual. All proceeds will benefit the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation. For tickets, or more information, call the Derby Festival office at (502) 584-FEST.
