derby days

Our annual Kentucky Derby Gala on May 3rd was a memorable evening filled with celebration, community, and impact, all in support of local families across South Florida through the Diaper Bank. 🐎

This event was such a success thanks in part to the generosity of sponsors such as Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. Their support helped make the evening not only a wonderful celebration, but also a meaningful opportunity to directly benefit families in our community. 💛

Your partnership and commitment to strengthening the health and well-being of families across South Florida helped make this event both meaningful and impactful. Together, we are helping provide essential resources, dignity, and support to families who need it most. ✨

Sponsorship

Interested in making a real difference in South Florida? Consider sponsoring Derby Days! Your support helps provide diapers, period supplies, and essential hygiene items to hundreds of children and families who rely on The Diaper Bank Covering South Florida — families living below the poverty line who often lack access to basic essentials. 

Sponsorship not only brings much-needed resources to vulnerable families, but also gives your business meaningful exposure and recognition at our event — showing your brand stands for compassion, community, and impact. Join us. Help us lift up families. Leave a footprint that matters.

Why attend? Our community is coming together for an evening of fun and compassion to support families in South Florida who face diaper and hygiene insecurity. By participating in Derby Days 2026, you help ensure that children and individuals in need receive diapers, period supplies, and adult-incontinence products — because no one should have to choose between basic hygiene and other essentials.

At The Diaper Bank Covering South Florida, we collaborate with local nonprofits to address diaper need among families below the poverty line — especially in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. Since 2011, we’ve distributed over 7.1 million diapers and currently serve 3,200+ children each month.


By attending Derby Days, you're not only enjoying an exciting event but also making a difference in the lives of families in South Florida. We look forward to seeing you there! 🏇🏆
