The <strong>Barrington</strong> Children’s Charities (formed in March 2011) held<br />
its first fundraising event on May 7 at the Wool Street Grill in <strong>Barrington</strong>. More than<br />
200 people attended the not-for-profit’s “Run for the Roses <strong>Derby</strong> Party” to enjoy<br />
watching the <strong>Derby</strong>, sip Mint Juleps and vie for raffle prizes. Stepping out in festive<br />
<strong>Derby</strong> day attire, guests mingled and enjoyed an open bar and buffet while listening<br />
to music provided by DJ Sonic III. Silent and live auctions and ticket fees helped to<br />
raise more than $26,000 that will benefit area children’s charities.<br />
The $26,000 included proceeds of $10,000 for the live auction item of a two<br />
percent stake in a bay colt racehorse, and $5,000 for tickets to next year’s Kentucky<br />
<strong>Derby</strong>. The BCC’s next event will be the “Holly Ball,” scheduled for December 10,<br />
2011 at <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills Country Club.<br />
“The <strong>Derby</strong> Party was our first <strong>Barrington</strong><br />
Children’s Charities event. Everyone<br />
came out dressed in their fun <strong>Derby</strong> attire,<br />
watched the race, and had a great time<br />
with friends and family to support this wonderful<br />
cause! BCC’s first event was a success<br />
and we can’t wait for the ‘Holly Ball’ on<br />
December 10,” said Darby Hills, president of<br />
the organization.<br />
