The Junior League of Las Cruces (JLLC) will host its second annual Kentucky Derby Party fundraiser, 3-6 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at the Game II Sports Grill, 4131 Northrise Drive.

The event will feature a live showing of the running of the 148th Kentucky Derby, along with a silent auction and a best-dressed contest, JLLC said in a news release. There will be appetizers and a cash bar.

Tickets are $45 for individuals and $80 for couples.

All proceeds from the event will benefit JLLC programs, including the “A Book of My Own” Initiative, which JLLC began in 2020 to ensure that all children in the community have books at home, the news release said.
