17th Annual Off to the Races!
Off to the Races takes place on Saturday, March 21, from 7-10:30 pm, at Red Run Golf Club in Royal Oak, MI.
Each guest will enjoy desserts and late night snacks as well as a cash bar.
Off to the Races is the BEf's biggest fundraiser of the year.
Every dollar the BEF raises during Off to the Races supports staff innovation-grants, free enrichment programs for elementary and middle school students, student scholarships and the 8th grade college tour program. This fun social event and party is centered around simulated horse acing. Guests watch races, bet on the horses running in the races and win prizes. The event also includes an expansive silent auction (powered by mobile bidding), vacation give-away (the winner of the Golden Race will take home a $3,000 vacation), connecting with friends and colleagues, and most importantly, funding the #BerkleyDifference.
