Make-A-Wish Day

Make-A-Wish Day

Thursday, October 8

For the 19th year, local Thoroughbred farms and organizations team up with Keeneland to grant wishes for many deserving children. At Keeneland on this day, Make-A-Wish children and their families will be treated to a VIP experience, complete with presenting a trophy after each race, meeting jockeys and experiencing all the excitement of a day at the races. 

Fans are encouraged to cheer on these children and support Make-A-Wish® Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana. There will be an opportunity to help make even more wishes come true by visiting the Keeneland Paddock Wish tent.

The day will also celebrate the inspiring story of Cody’s Wish, the beloved Thoroughbred whose connection with a former Make-A-Wish child, Cody, captured hearts around the world. On Make-A-Wish Day, the author of the Cody’s Wish book will be on site at Keeneland at Milliner's Corner from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. for a book signing, offering fans an opportunity to learn more about Cody’s remarkable story and the powerful connection between the Thoroughbred industry and Make-A-Wish.
