Official Kentucky Derby Party to Benefit the Unbridled Eve Foundation and Affiliated Charities
The Sixth Annual Unbridled Eve will kick off next Friday night with Morris Day and the Time and Taio Cruz headlining the musical action and Hollywood glam led by Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe Winner Sharon Stone, as well as Mira Sorvino and her father, Paul, as well as husband, Christopher Backus.
Award-winning actor Beau Bridges will also attend as well as other horse racing industry professionals and celebrities from film, television, music, comedy and sports.
From the world-class cocktail reception to dinner, dancing, live musical performances, and a spectacular silent auction, Unbridled Eve offers the best in Southern hospitality, elegance and entertainment.
All of this fun ultimately goes to help numerous great causes, including six-time beneficiary, Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that fights childhood hunger by providing needy elementary school students a backpack of food on the weekends.
A portion of proceeds will also go to sixteen other non-profit organizations. The Unbridled Charitable Foundation, Inc® and Unbridled Eve® were founded by Tonya York Dees and Tammy York Day.
WSLM and WRLW TV will be live streaming the event beginning at 7p Friday, May 5.
