The 10th Annual Pony Up for a Cause, Kentucky Derby Party is happening on Saturday, May 3rd at the South Shore Country Club from 5:00-9:00pm. The annual, sell-out event celebrates the Kentucky Derby and raises money for local Hingham non-profit The Lead Out Foundation, who is officially taking the reins of the Pony Up Event this year.
Pony Up for a Cause was founded by Hingham natives Hilary Jenison, Alyssa Scordo (now of Scituate), Sarah Melia and Lois Blowers ten years ago as a way to celebrate one of their favorite days of the year – the Kentucky Derby – while giving back to their community. They are very grateful to have the Lead Out Foundation now taking the reins to run this successful event!
The Lead Out Foundation was started by the Holleran Family. Dan and Mary Holleran live in Hingham with their two sons Liam and Timmy, both students at South Elementary School. The Lead Out Foundation is dedicated to empowering individuals and families who are affected by disabilities by fostering a more inclusive and supportive world. They provide Quality of Life grants to make life more accessible for people with disabilities. Find out more about TLO here: https://www.tlofoundation.org.
Purchase tickets by visiting here. Early-bird tickets are $65 per person through April 18th (in year’s past this event sold out so don’t wait!) before they go up through the day of the event or until sold out.
If you’re interested in sponsorship or donating a silent auction item, please reach out to Leigh Roy at lroy@tlofoundation.org.
Whether you are a returning guest or a new one, we hope you will join us on May 3rd to Pony Up for TLO!
