About: Each June, the Barns of Rose Hill hosts an annual benefit gala—our most important fundraising event of the year—to support programs throughout the latter part of the year. This year, we’re thrilled to be joined by Honorary Chairs Howard and Candy Means to present “Belmont at the Barns,” a gala that celebrates the thrill of the Belmont Stakes, one of the most prestigious races in American Thoroughbred horse racing.
In keeping with the theme, guests will watch the Belmont Stakes live on the big screen—placing wagers on their favorite contenders for the chance to win fabulous prizes. They’ll also enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres from Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery, participate in a live auction and online silent auction, and sway to the smooth sounds of jazz crooner Scott Clark. It promises to be an evening of great company, fun, and philanthropy—all in support of your favorite nonprofit arts center!
Date & Time: Saturday, June 7, 2025. Doors open at 5:30 PM. Festivities kick off at 6:00 PM. Post time for the Belmont Stakes is at 6:41 PM.
Ticket Price: $75 per person includes admission to the event, an “elevated tailgate” dining experience, an open bar—including wine, beer, and a signature drink—access to an exclusive live auction, and all associated activities.
