Charity Night returns to Turfway Park

FLORENCE – Charity Night at the Tables, a one-of-a-kind celebration of community giving, is coming back to Turfway Park on March 14.

The event is hosted by The Yearlings Inc., in conjunction with community leaders. This year’s co-chairs are Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President Trey Grayson, and his wife, Nancy.

The event was held for 11 years until 2012, and did not occur in 2013 or 2014.

“In the past, this event not only helped fun programs for area nonprofits, but has raised awareness and provides participating organizations with a valuable new pipeline of volunteers and supporters,” Trey Grayson said.

Charity Night includes Monte Carlo-style gaming, and participating charities earn the ability to back horses in Turfway’s Kentucky Derby prep race, the $550,000 Horseshoe Cincinnati Spiral Stakes.

Eight nonprofit organizations will benefit from the 2015 Charity Night: Boone County CASA, Family Nurturing Center, Holly Hill Children’s Home, NKY Education Council, New Perceptions, Parish Kitchen, Senior Services of Northern Kentucky and Steinford Toy Foundation.

Tickets cost $75 per person and are available online at www.yearlings.org or by calling 859-905-0392.
