2025 Events

Our annual “Keeneland Day at the Races” was launched in 1983 as a fundraiser to finance the groundbreaking of RMHC of the Bluegrass.

Held in the Keeneland Room, guests enjoy one of the most stunning views of the race track. Located on the 5th floor and complete with a private patio, this room is a fit for a queen – literally 😉

Complemented by great food and even better company, this is a great event to see and be seen while partaking in one of Lexington’s favorite past times: A Day at the Races!

Twice a year, RMHC of the Bluegrass hosts Pop Tab Palooza at our House. Supporters are encouraged to “Pop It & Drop It” by dropping off their pop tabs in our big collection boxes during these fun, free community events.

Guests get to enjoy food, activities, giveaways, and tours of the House. Pop Tab Palooza is sponsored by Cohen Recycling and Big Blue Junk Removal- our partners who help us haul and recycle millions of pop tabs a year!

After such a wonderful evening with those who attended our first Wine & Fries, we decided to plan a version with our favorite Kentucky spirit – bourbon! Guests will join us for specially curated bourbon tastings and delicious bites while mingling with friends. We will have a cash bar for additional drink purchases, a photo booth to capture all the fun moments, and a Whiskey Wall where guests can win a bottle to take home!

We can’t wait for everyone to join us at this new event in 2025 being presented by RMHC of the Bluegrass and the regional McDonald’s Co-op.

Also known as the Allan P. Nahra Memorial Golf Scramble, this annual event presented by Tempur Sealy International brings together RMHC of the Bluegrass supporters for a beautiful day of golf with complimentary food and drinks, a premier gift, prizes and more.

This day is a ~hole~ lot of fun and truly ~drives~ our success on and off the green!

This year we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Wine & Fries event! Guests are invited to taste our favorite fries from McDonald’s dipped in their favorite sauces and paired with hand selected, premier wines. All guests are also able to enjoy a cash bar, capture all their fun at our photo booth, and win a surprise bottle of wine from our Wine Wall! Our special VIP guests are treated to a guided tasting after the event, as well as a special gift.

After the success of our inaugural Wine & Fries event, we can’t wait to come back together for another special evening celebrating a truly perfect pairing.

The McDazzle Gala + Auction is an annual event to celebrate and fund our mission with over 500 of our friends at Central Bank Center in downtown Lexington. Guests enjoy a cocktail reception with an opportunity to browse our silent auction before an exciting program and three-course dinner.

We also honor a special guest with the Elizabeth Carey Nahra Legacy of Love Award each year. This award represents the tireless support of RMHC of the Bluegrass and the families and children we serve.

After the success of our first Giving Tree event in 2024, we are excited to bring it back again this year! Guests are invited to join us for this free event to view festively decorated and donated wreaths and trees from local Lexington businesses, complete with swag and other prizes like gifts under the tree.

Supporters can then purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win their favorite tree or wreath and all its gifts with proceeds benefitting RMHC of the Bluegrass. This is a great opportunity to promote your business and celebrate the giving spirit of the holiday season with us!
