Down & Derby

On behalf of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Milton Friends is excited to invite you to join us at the 4th annual Down & Derby event.

In the first three years of hosting this volunteer-led event, over half a million dollars has been raised to support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. We are excited to introduce our new venue, Crabapple Market Green, and welcome local businesses and partners where we will be sourcing the night’s delights in the heart of Milton. This year, our guests will enjoy a viewing of the Kentucky Derby, festive cocktails, southern inspired bites and live entertainment.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 5:30 PM -10:00 PM. All the money raised will benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where our mission is to make kids better today and healthier tomorrow
