Community members and race fans alike are invited to gather Saturday, May 2, for a Kentucky Derby-themed benefit at Fernwood Gardens in Jacksonport to support Lucia Ramirez as she undergoes treatment for leukemia.

The event will run from 3 to 7 p.m. and will feature Derby-inspired activities, food and beverages, raffle buckets and a silent auction, all aimed at raising funds for Ramirez and her family during her cancer battle.

Admission is $20 at the door, with children 12 and under admitted free. Organizers said admission includes complimentary food and non-alcoholic beverages for attendees.

The benefit is being held to help offset medical costs and related expenses as Ramirez continues chemotherapy treatment. Community members say the event is also intended to show support and solidarity for the family during a difficult time.

For those unable to attend, donations can still be made to the Lucia Ramirez Benefit Fund at local Nicolet Bank branches or through Ramirez’s GoFundMe page.
