KENTUCKY OAKS SURVIVORS PARADE | Closed!

The Survivors Parade 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. The 17th Survivors Parade will be presented on Friday, May 2, 2025, and will honor the 150 survivors and fighters who have been selected. Before submitting, please take a look at the 2025 Survivors Day Parade Sweepstake rules (PDF).

Registrations are now closed. We will announce winners and post them on the site on March 7.
