About Alpha Derby Weekend

Four Events. Four Vibes. Friday kicks off early with the Alphas of Atlanta Open Golf Tournament followed by the Miquel Wilson Fashion Show, and Kick-Off Social & Concert. Then, Saturday brings The Kentucky Derby Watch Party. Finally, the weekend wraps with the popular Sunday Jazz Brunch. Simply stated, #AlphaDerby is the perfect Atlanta alternative to enjoy the Kentucky Derby — all for a good cause.

Alphas from across the metro-Atlanta area all collaborate to host a first-class experience while benefiting local non-profit education foundations, a true party with a purpose.

ALPHA DERBY DAY PARTY

College Football Hall of Fame

2019 Attendance: 1700

The Big Day! Our signature fundraiser. Enjoy the trappings of all three venue levels! Kick off the afternoon with live music and two rock solid DJs to keep the party going — both on the main level and over-looking Centennial Olympic Park from the 3rd level. In 2019, 1700 of us locked arms and set the record for a group dance when the originators of the “Swag Surf” F.L.Y. graced the stage. This year’s surprise artist will definitely take things to an even higher level. Hand-selected vendors, silent auction, premium food, drink tickets, best hat competition, live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby and more. Trust us — nothing is left to chance.

JAZZ BRUNCH

How do you cap off a weekend of style, panache, and class? Jazz (and bottomless mimosas of course)! 2018 and 2019 saw saxophonist Trey Daniels step off the Anita Baker tour and grace our stage to bring us a “Trap Brunch” like none other. Guests enjoy a plated meal style breakfast buffet complete with carving stations, desserts, attentive service, on site vendors, and more. Then, the DJ makes sure we all leave the weekend with zero energy! The final party with a purpose.
