After two years of silence due to the pandemic, the Monmouth Park Charity Fund is thrilled to invite you to join in on Saturday, May 7, 2022 for its 17th Annual Kentucky Derby Day Celebration under the tent at Blu Grotto’s beautiful outdoor garden at the historic Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. 

Doors open at 3:30 p.m. for guests to enjoy an afternoon of simulcast betting, live and silent auctions, chef specialties, mint juleps and open bar, live music, hat contest and parade bringing all the festivities of the Derby to the Jersey Shore!  After watching the running of the Derby race on the big screens, the event will close at 7:30 p.m.

Honorees at this year’s event will be Anita Roselle for her tireless advocacy of many local charities and leadership driving philanthropy to support humanitarian missions; Jeremy Grunin philanthropic leader and president of the Grunin Foundation, a proactive grantmaker investing in the arts, education and healthcare and driving economic excellence at the Central Jersey Shore; and BCB Bank as a community bank that believes in investing back into the community it serves by supporting community-based causes and local education.
