The Daviess Community Hospital Foundation hosted their 7th Annual “Kentucky Derby Fundraiser” on May 7th.

Hospital Officials say there was a sellout crowd of 144 people registered for the event with the purpose of raising money to support the ICU & Emergency Department renovations at DCH.

The project is estimated to cost around $8 million with the department looking to raise $1 million this year.

DCH Foundation Director, Angie Steiner, says the funds raised this year through the Kentucky Derby Fundraiser totaled more than $25,000.00.

Donations are still being accepted.

Next year’s event will again be held on the first Saturday in May to coincide with the Kentucky Derby.
