The V Foundation for Cancer Research, a top-rated cancer research charity, and the Bridgeman Charitable Group, Inc. are excited to announce the V Foundation as a national charitable beneficiary for the Trifecta Gala, the Premier Kentucky Derby Eve Celebrity Charity Gala. The Trifecta Gala will be held on May 3 at the YUM! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, where proceeds will benefit cancer research funded nationwide through the V Foundation, as well as local charities.
“It is an honor and a privilege for the Trifecta Gala to join forces with the V Foundation. There is not a person we know who has not been or will be affected by cancer,” said Eden Bridgeman. “Our hope is that we can inspire people to help us find a cure for cancer.”

What an incredible evening this will be on the eve of the Derby!”
