Fifth Annual Hats & Horses A Kentucky Derby-Style Benefit for Club 360

PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL – Presented by VBA Design, The Fifth Annual Hats & Horses, a charity benefit for Club 360, takes place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 3:00 to 6:30 PM at a brand-new location: the Krewe of Dominique Youx (KoDY) Event Center at 7550 Holley Wood Rd., Panama City Beach (in the industrial park adjacent to the Navy Base). “Join us for an unforgettable Kentucky Derby party, where the thrills of the race meet the joy of giving!” says Victoria Williams, President of VBA Design, Hats & Horses’ Presenting Sponsor. “Your support will help raise crucial funds for Club 360, empowering our community and making a lasting impact. Place your wagers, sip a mint julep, and let’s race toward a brighter future together!”

This event, always well attended, promises to bring a fun-filled afternoon while also giving back to the community with proceeds going to Club 360 for development of their endowed scholarships. ‘Women Giving Back Full Circle’ is the club’s tagline. Club 360 was formed in late 2019 as a charitable organization that offers women leaders in the community the opportunity to give back, beginning with educating the youth on career opportunities and ending with providing scholarships for women.

The Fifth Annual Hats & Horses will be an afternoon of games, competitions and races, including the Grand Finale, “Run for the Roses,” which will be televised live at the event. The Center features multiple TV screens throughout the venue, ensuring you won’t miss a single moment of the action. A spirited competition will determine this year’s Best Derby Hat and Most Dapper Dude. Table Sponsorships are available starting at $1,000. And DON’T MISS this year’s special Derby Souvenir Drink Glasses, available individually and with some sponsorship packages. Tickets are $45 per person, available at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/club-360/hatsandhorses .
