KrogerI'm a Survivor!

The Survivors Parade presented by Kroger will again take place on Kentucky Oaks Day to show our fans’ support for breast cancer survivors.  The parade will be made up of 136 breast cancer survivors who have been chosen through an online nomination and selection process.

The chosen participants will receive two (2) tickets to the Kentucky Oaks as well as a lunch sponsored by Churchill Downs.  Participants will participate in a stunning parade of pink around the Churchill Downs main track prior to the Oaks race. 

The Survivors Parade was first hosted by Churchill Downs for Kentucky Oaks 135 and featured 135 survivors.  You can watch live coverage of the Kentucky Oaks 136 Survivors Parade April 30 on Bravo beginning at 5 p.m.
