Monmouth Park Charity Fund – Kentucky Derby Party

Monmouth Park Charity Fund Kentucky Derby Celebration
Join us for the Monmouth Park Charity Fund’s biggest fundraiser of the year as we celebrate the excitement and tradition of the Kentucky Derby at the new Apéro Steakhouse (formerly Blu Grotto Restaurant) at Monmouth Park Racetrack.

This signature event blends the thrill of live racing with a vibrant party atmosphere—all while making a meaningful impact in our community. Every ticket directly supports Monmouth County nonprofits that provide essential health services, assist at‑risk individuals, care for our most vulnerable neighbors, and enrich the community through arts and environmental stewardship.
With nearly $11 million in grants awarded to date, Monmouth Park Charity Fund continues to transform generosity into powerful, local impact.
