What is the Derby Dash Bash?
The Derby Dash Bash is our 9th annual fundraising event held on Saturday May 5th, 2012 concurrent with the running of the Kentucky Derby. This year, the Derby Dash Bash will also be a celebration of the 21st Anniversary of the Therapeutic Riding Program at Rocking Horse Ranch. This event begins at 4:30 p.m. and will be held at Rock Springs Center, 4025 Hwy 43 North, Greenville, NC 27834. The money raised helps RHR support operating expenses such as care of our horses, maintenance of our facility, utilities and employee expenses. Those attending the Derby Dash Bash will enjoy appetizers, drinks, dinner, dessert, live music, horse raffle, ladies Derby hat contest, silent and live auctions and viewing of the Kentucky Derby. We are seeking individual and corporate sponsors, as well as community support through the sale of tickets.
