Local community leaders are off to the races for Mercy Support Services, and every gift helps move their horse closer to the finish line. Choose the leader you want to support, make a donation in their honor, and help crown this year’s Race for the Roses Champion at Night of Hope.
HOW IT WORKS
MEET THIS YEAR’S FIELD
Four community leaders. One Derby-style race for a good cause. Choose your champion and help move their horse toward the finish line.
THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT THE NIGHT OF HOPE GALA
Annual Gala - Dinner - Silent & Live Auction - Derby Experiences
Join us at the 2026 Night of Hope Gala: Jockeys & Juleps as we celebrate generosity, community, and the mission of Mercy Support Services. The Race for the Roses Champion will be announced live during the annual gala.
​
Race for the Roses is more than a friendly competition. Every donation supports Mercy Support Services as we help individuals and families in Clay County move from crisis toward stability through compassionate guidance, practical support, and lasting hope.
