Named an Official Kentucky Derby Event, the Fifth Annual Unbridled Eve Gala is an exclusive star-studded gala which draws local and national business leaders, 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 five year 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 fourteen other non-profit organizations.

The Unbridled Charitable Foundation, Inc® and Unbridled Eve® were founded by Tonya York Dees and Tammy York Day.

The evening will include performances by Robin Thicke (Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter), Wynonna Judd (Grammy-nominated singer), John Elefante (former lead singer of band Kansas), and Dennis DeYoung (founder and former lead singer of band Styx).

Celebrities/ VIPO scheduled to attend include: Ashley Greene (Twilight), Betty Cantrell (Miss America), Bob Guiney (Actor, Singer, Talk Show Host), Curtis Jackson “50 Cent” (Rapper/Entertainer), Diego Klattenhoff (Actor, NBC’s “The Blacklist”), Junior Bridgeman (CEO of Manna, Inc. and former NBA player), Mark Sanchez (Denver Broncos Quarterback), Mike Mills (Founder and Bass Player of REM), Mira Sorvino (Oscar winning Actress), Sam Boyd (FMX Rider), Von Miller (SuperBowl MVP 2016 Denver Broncos), Warren Moon (Hall of Fame NFL Player), and Zach Lindsey (Project Runway: Junior Winner).

For the fifth consecutive year, the primary beneficiary of the Unbridled Eve Gala is Blessings in a Backpack, a 501 C (3) non-profit organization that currently feeds nearly 76,000 children in 800 schools in 44 U.S. states. The unique program feeds a child in the program for an entire year for only $100, providing support for elementary school children whose families qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Price Meal program and who have minimal food on weekends.
