WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — The Greater Wyoming Valley Area YMCA hosted its 5th annual Kentucky Derby gala.
It was at the Westmoreland Club on S. Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre.
There was plenty of dancing and music.
People could even meet and take photos with Sawyer the horse.
Money raised here helps children.
"I work with the children day in and day out, and we really see firsthand single parents, grandparents raising their grandchildren, being able to support everybody and help everybody in affording childcare because we all know that's very expensive...We have 5 locations now, and we are able to provide lots of families with scholarships due to the proceeds of this event," said Jennifer Brennan of the Greater Wyoming Valley Area YMCA.
There was also a silent auction with the big prize being a trip to Disney.
