Derby 2023

Since 1999, Seton Youth Shelters has brought together 150 of the area’s most festive and philanthropically-minded guests for a spring celebration of all things “Derby” to benefit our shelter, mentoring and outreach programs, which reach tens of thousands of Hampton Roads’ youth each year. Seton Youth Shelters is the region’s only organization devoted exclusively to providing shelter, outreach and mentoring services to youth ages 9 up to 18.

Guests enjoy authentic mint juleps, a Derby Hat Contest, live horse races, a giant screen broadcast of the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs, and more, all while enabling us to provide prevention, intervention, shelter and counseling to youth in crisis and their families 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no charge to the child or their family.

When you raise your glass and spend an exciting and elegant evening celebrating the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 6, 2023, know that you are helping Seton Youth Shelters, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, fulfill its mission of providing safe haven, counseling and outreach services, 24 hours a day, without charge, to assist youth in crisis throughout Hampton Roads, with the goal of reuniting families.
