What started as a small gathering among a few friends and neighbors to watch the fastest two minutes in sports has evolved into a backyard party bringing all of our closest friends together. We'll still watch the race but this year we're also gathering together to raise funds to support the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Saturday, May 4, 2024 @ 4:30 p.m. There's nothing better than dressing up in your Derby Day best to witness the fastest two minutes in sports. Guests can enjoy an open bar, music, catered food and various party favourites. Ditch the kids and join us for a great afternoon!
May is ALS awareness month. As many of you know, our dear friend Tim Shaw was diagnosed with ALS in 2014. Tim's diagnosis opened our eyes to a horrible disease that does not have a cure today. We're hoping to change all that, and with your help, we can make great strides in an effort to find a cure. In 2021, your generosity helped us raise over $3,200! All of which was matched by Tim for a total contribution of over $6,400 to the ALS Association! To date, we've been able to rase nearly $13,000 for this cause. Thank you so much for your generous contributions. This year we are asking for a $75 per person donation to this worthy cause. Feel free to donate by clicking the link below or if cash is your thing, bring some to the derby party. Tim recently started his own non-profit: TShawStrong. Moving forward we will be donating to help support Tim's cause which will help those impacted by ALS.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neuromuscular disease. ALS is characterized by a progressive degeneration of motor nerve cells in the brain (upper motor neurons) and spinal cord (lower motor neurons). When the motor neurons can no longer send impulses to the muscles, the muscles begin to waste away (atrophy), causing increased muscle weakness. Currently, there is no cure.
With all of us working together, we can accomplish great things. We hope you'll join us for this fun event, all while raising funds to support a worthy cause.

There should be plenty of parking on our street but Lyft & Uber are great options, especially should you decide to let your hair down ;) (248) 752-5950 (734) 807-0034
