The Kentucky Derby Fundraiser
The Kentucky Derby is an awesome event where H2o students help to cater this enormous sporting event. By working a few days, a student can pay for most of their events for the following year. It's also a powerful time to be a light in the darkness, share the Gospel in a real-world situation and incredibly bond as a team!

Alcohol Training. While not all volunteers will be required to serve or work with alcohol, all volunteers must go through alcohol training. Below are the instructions for the training. All volunteers working any Levy event MUST COMPLETE this training in order to work.
Everyone who is a part of any Levy event needs to do this once a year, once you do it for 1 event it is good for all the other events in that year.
Please makes sure your whole team does this.
