Get Ready for a Wild Ride: FanDuel's Derby Bash with Shaboozey
Gear up, race fans! FanDuel Group, the leading online gaming giant in North America and an official partner of Churchill Downs Incorporated, is bringing the heat to Louisville with the announcement of Grammy-nominated country musician Shaboozey headlining their Derby party.
"I can't wait to partake in Derby fever this year," shared Shaboozey. "Tickets for the derby itself are like gold dust, but we're throwing an event you won't want to miss. Get ready for some serious energy in Louisville with FanDuel!"
The Exclusive Derby Soiree on May 2
Last year, the FanDuel Kentucky Derby party brought Luke Bryan and Ne-Yo to the stage, and this year, the gaming giants aim to outdo themselves with an unparalleled, invite-only event happening on May 2nd at the Paristown Arts and Entertainment District, right in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky.
In addition to bringing the party, FanDuel will contribute $100,000 to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, a nonprofit that offers support to retired racehorses, ensuring they receive care, retraining, and rehoming.
Andrew Moore, General Manager of Racing at FanDuel, shared his excitement, stating, "Since horse racing is where our story began, we're stoked to immerse ourselves deeper in Louisville's vibrant racing culture. We're ready to make this Derby one for the history books while supporting a good cause."
