Our 8th Annual Roses & Rosé is a Derby-themed, women-inspired brunch giving back to domestic violence survivors at St. Vincent de Paul. Roses & Rosé will be held on Sunday, April 26, from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Olmsted.
 

Anne Burnham, a member of St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, is a returning attendee who fills a table.
 

“I love that dual purpose of getting together with friends and family, but also giving back to the community,” Burnham said.
 

It's a celebration of the women in your life while also enjoying rosé wine and mimosas. We have several ways to support this event—a silent auction, shopping in our Vendor Village, wine pull, mission round, and more.
 

“I really like that people have different options to support the community of St. Vincent de Paul through purchasing items from vendors, bidding on things during the silent auction, or the wine pull,” Burnham added. “The event has definitely grown and evolved over the years … and tying in the mission and the reason why we’re all there.”
 

All proceeds will directly support our Domestic Violence Program, which served 234 people, including 125 chil­dren, with 92% exiting to a stable housing this past fiscal year. Your support helps us provide hope and healing for these households.
 

“The few weeks leading up to the Ken­tucky Derby is a time in our city where people are happy and excited to be doing various community things,” she said. “I love that Roses & Rosé is an opportunity for women to get dressed up and support both women and men that are in SVDP’s Domestic Violence Program.”
