Get ready to don your Derby hats and bowties for an unforgettable night of dinner, activities, 
entertainment, and auctions—all in support of brighter futures for Pearland ISD students.

This year’s theme, “Running for the Roses: Racing Towards Brighter Futures,” captures the excitement, tradition, and heart-pounding momentum of the Derby. As the Mint Juleps flow, the Bourbon Pull delights, and the big hats steal the show, you'll be part of a night where every moment—and every dollar raised—propels students toward greater opportunities. 

We’re racing toward a winning goal of $100,000 for education, and your sponsorship helps our students break from the starting gate with confidence and support. Your generosity fuels innovative programs, enriches classrooms, and empowers the next generation of leaders to sprint toward success. 

Just as a spirited thoroughbred surges down the homestretch, your support drives our community 
forward. Together, we can run stronger, aim higher, and cross the finish line with lasting impact.

Will you join us in the winner’s circle?

Place your bet on education—and let’s race toward brighter futures, one stride at a time!
