The Survivors Parade is an annual tradition that takes place on Kentucky Oaks Day.  This is a moving tradition that celebrates breast and ovarian cancer survivors and encourages those still fighting their cancer battle as they march on Churchill Downs’ historic racetrack prior to the running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks.

This year’s Survivors Parade will be presented on Friday, May 3, 2024, and will honor the 150 survivors and fighters.  The Survivors Parade has become a platform to raise money in support of women’s breast health. 

Churchill Downs, Derby Divas and Norton Cancer Institute will continue their partnership through 2024 to raise funds through the Oaks charitable initiative to help provide care to local women who lack access to breast health screenings and services. We hope you will help us in these efforts by making a charitable donation towards women’s breast health, in honor of this year’s  Survivors Parade participants.
