HOLD YOUR HORSES!

In consideration of the current conditions, the Kentucky Derby being rescheduled to Sept. 5, and the Johnston Health Foundation's Summer and Fall events calendar, we have decided to cancel the 2020 Portofino Derby Classic.

This decision was not made lightly, as the need to support local cancer patients still exists and we hope that our supporters and ticket buyers will continue to support the Angel Fund by making a donation on the event's ticket site.

To those who have already purchased tickets, you may:
1) Allow us to convert your ticket purchase to a donation to the Angel Fund
2) Transfer your ticket to the 2021 event
3) Request a refund
Please email foundation@johnstonhealth.org to let us know your preference.

Thank you so much for your understanding during this difficult time and we look forward to making the Portofino Derby Classic even bigger and better in 2021.

Sincerely,
The 2020 Portofino Derby Classic Event Planning Committee

________________________________________________________________________________________

Other than Kentucky, the Portofino Derby Classic is the only place to be to celebrate the Derby! Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2020, at the Portofino Equestrian Center outside of Raleigh, NC for eastern North Carolina's biggest Derby party.

Net proceeds will benefit cancer patients through the Johnston Health Foundation's Angel Fund.

The fun-filled afternoon will have something for everyone. Sip a mint julep and cheer for the best-dressed in the ladies' hat contest and the men's and children's derby outfit contests. Get excited about the main event as you watch the live horse races, as well as other attractions like dressage. Sit back and enjoy music and refreshments with your friends...and of course, cheer on your pick for the live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby!

Tickets are now available online and may also be purchased on the event day (May 2, 2020). Please present your ticket at the event check-in tent on May 2 (printed ticket or e-ticket on your cellphone).
