The Julep Ball
2010 Julep Ball
On the first Saturday in May the world turns its attention to Louisville, Kentucky to watch the greatest two minutes in sports - the Kentucky Derby.
The night before the Derby, local and national business leaders, horse industry professionals and celebrities from sports, music, cinema & television join forces to help raise money for the James Graham Brown Cancer Center.
In 2009, more than 1,300 people from across the country attended the sold-out event presented by Southern Wine & Spirits.
This black-tie event not only features a celebrity red carpet entrance, cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, and dancing, but also deluxe specialty bars, live and silent auction and keepsake photos. Past auction items include: tickets to the Emmy Awards, game tickets in the L.A. Lakers Owner’s Suite, poker game with Phil Hellmuth, Masters golf tournament and World Series tickets.
Join us Friday, April 30, 2010 for the Julep Ball at the Galt House Hotel & Suites Grand Ballroom.
The Julep Ball benefits the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville. The Brown Cancer Center provides the highest level of clinical care in the region, access to the latest cancer research, and the resources, education and services our community needs for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
These are exciting times at the Brown Cancer Center. We have made tremendous strides in our knowledge and treatment techniques. The innovative treatments for several types of cancer which were made a reality by the relentless effort of these professional people are certain to have a profound impact the world over. We are determined to eliminate the suffering caused by this most devastating disease and our enthusiasm grows exponentially with each achievement.
