Because of the continued uncertainty around public events and effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, Make-A-Wish East Tennessee made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 event. But we're excited about the 2021 Running of The Roses! 

Plans are underway to make the event better than ever in 2021. Traditionally aligned with the Kentucky Derby, the event will feature the most famous horse race, themed food and drink, live music, and many other festivities. An exciting time is being planned but goal is always the same... granting life-changing wishes to kids facing critical illnesses. The event is presented by Financial Concepts Incorporated.
