WindWalkers’ Run for the Roses Benefit—our biggest fundraiser of the year—is back on Saturday, May 2, 2026, and you won’t want to miss it! Join us at The Inn at Aspen for an unforgettable Kentucky Derby celebration filled with high-energy fun, Derby-inspired style, and a whole lot of heart.

Enjoy live music, the Gems of Aspen Hat Bar, signature cocktails, betting boards, and plenty of friendly competition as we gather to watch the “most exciting two minutes in sports.” With incredible catering from Home Team BBQ, this festive afternoon promises amazing food, great company, and an atmosphere buzzing with community spirit.

But most importantly, this event is more than a party—it’s a powerful way to support the life-changing work happening every day at WindWalkers. Proceeds from this annual benefit directly fund our programs and help us continue providing transformative equine-assisted services to individuals and families in our community.

Sponsorship opportunities are available now, offering premier visibility and impact for businesses and individuals who want to champion this special event. Individual tickets will go on sale on March 18th. Early Bird tickets will be available March 18–March 24 for $125. General Admission tickets will be available March 25–May 2 for $175.

So grab your best Derby attire, bring your friends, and get ready to celebrate for a cause that matters. Let’s make this year’s Run for the Roses our most impactful yet! 🐎🌹🎩
