Presented by Resolute Racing: Wednesday to be rebranded as “Winsday”
Churchill Downs has officially rebranded the Wednesday of Kentucky Derby Week to be known as “Winsday: Greater Thrills for the Greater Good, presented by Resolute Racing” in honor of supporting local nonprofit organizations in the Kentuckiana community, the organization announced Friday.
With a total of 50 area nonprofits who have emailed unique ticket links to their supporters, Churchill Downs will donate $5 to the respective organization for every “Winsday” box seat ticket sold. Individual seats on the 100 level are $32 and the 300 level box seats are $39 with the reserved boxes being communal seating with other guests unless they are purchased in full. The event will also provide participating organizations with multiple ways to raise funds including special cash prizes and increasing awareness for their work on race day.
A full list of the organizations is available here. Listed in alphabetical order on the site, ticket purchases made through the links will also unlock a randomly selected drawing for an additional $2,000 prize to the nonprofit. In addition to various Thoroughbred-centered charities, others participating include groups providing assistance for the spiritual, mental, and living needs of their communities. “Winsday” will take place Wednesday, Apr. 30 before the GI Kentucky Derby is run May 3.
