Cleary University invites the community to attend its fourth annual Sip, Savor & Support fundraising gala on Friday, February 6, 2026, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. in the Cleary Commons on campus. This year’s theme celebrates Southern hospitality and Kentucky Derby charm with an evening of live music, inspired cuisine, and spirited fun — all to support Cleary’s Gift of Graduation Scholarship Fund.
Guests will enjoy Derby-inspired hors d’oeuvres, a variety of signature cocktails, wines, and local brews, and the chance to participate in a silent auction filled with unique items and experiences. The evening will feature live jazz and bluegrass music, as well as the crowd-favorite Derby Betting Parlor, where attendees can place play-money bets and cheer on their horses for prizes.
Proceeds from the event directly benefit the Gift of Graduation Scholarship, which provides essential funding to help students complete their degrees and cross the finish line to graduation.
Guests are encouraged to embrace the Derby spirit by dressing in spring cocktail attire or their finest Derby hats.
Tickets are $60 per guest or $80 including the Bourbon Tasting Experience, and can be purchased online.
