At the festivities, guests will be treated to the Run for the Roses specialty cocktail, created by Nick Mautone, master mixologist for GREY GOOSE Vodka to honor the 134th Kentucky Derby. Run for the Roses is a refreshing alternative to the Mint Julep while still embodying the essence of Kentucky Derby tradition. (Recipe and photography available.)

Since 1989, the gala has donated over 16 million dollars to University of Kentucky and University of Louisville research labs in honor of Patricia's husband, Dr. David Brown, who died from the disease.
