DERBY ATTIRE ENCOURAGED

Over $3 Million Raised

We crossed the finish line with more than $3 million raised at the 2025 Derby Day Soirée, Cleveland Clinic Children’s signature fundraising event to support lifesaving programs and advance pediatric research.

The annual fundraiser has raised more than $23 million since its inception in 1990. More than 500 guests attended the event, held on May 3, 2025 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.

Cleveland Clinic Children’s Derby Day Soirée – presented by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Superstars, The Fedeli Family Foundation and Scala Family Foundation – featured a viewing of the 151st Kentucky Derby, special recognition of longtime supporters, Mario and Dana Morino, and heartfelt stories of how event proceeds support lifesaving care throughout the year. To our donors, friends, caregivers and leaders — your presence and passion made all the difference.
