Grandstand Classic 2021

Join us for the Grandstand Classic Kentucky Derby Pre-Party & Silent Auction on May 1, 2021!

This Make-A-Wish East Tennessee signature event and largest fundraiser of the year has gone virtual for 2021! The virtual event will still provide all of the Derby fun you are looking for this year; best dressed, hat contest, silent auction, horse races and most importantly beautiful wish stories.

You may join our virtual event/program on May 1, at 6:00PM, and it will end just prior to the live Kentucky Derby races on the NBC network.

Your attendance is free, however, we do ask you to register to visit the live event. This is so that we may communicate important details about the event, the silent auction and the interactive options available during the live portion of the event on May 1, 2021. So register now to keep up-to-date on event details!

The silent auction is now open - 10:00PM on May 1, 2021. Prior to the auction, you will be given the option to to create a login in order to bid.

You also have the unique opportunity to participate in Make-A-Wish Night at the Races- a Virtual Horse Racing event! While there is no real betting involved, you will earn points based upon how your horses do in the races. The top three winners will be identified and awarded fantastic prizes! Limited spaces available, so check out the link below for more information!
