Another incredible Derby Day for United Way is in the books—and it wouldn’t have been possible without this amazing community! 🐎💚

A huge thank you to our emcees, Angie Kile and Doyle Tallent, for bringing the energy, the laughs, and keeping the spirit alive all night long—you truly made the event unforgettable.

Shoutout to William Grayson for calling the races and running Derby Dice like a pro, and to Tom Hatcher for sponsoring those Derby Dice tables—they stayed busy all night raising money for a great cause!

We’re so grateful for our Title Sponsor, Dr. Drue Manning with ENT & Allergy, and our Diamond Roulette Sponsor, Jinks Concrete—your support helps make this event shine (literally 💎).

This year, we were blown away by the support:
✨ 25 Horse Sponsors
✨ 14 Millionaire Row Tables

Special thanks to our table sponsors: Amlon, City of Madisonville, Eric Hazuda State Farm, Fairweather Financial, JTEKT, Peoples Bank of East Tennessee, Sequoyah Land Company, Sweetwater Valley Bank, and Volunteer Federal—you helped create an unforgettable Derby experience.

A heartfelt thank you to Sister Solutions for the behind-the-scenes work—organizing, setting up, and making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

And of course, cheers to Jeptha Creed Bourbon, Athens Distributing, and Tarver for keeping the drinks flowing and the crowd happy all night long! 🍷🍺 Thank you Chelsea Jackson for always being an amazing bartender for Derby Day!

Thank you to Stephen Hatchett and Leon Shields for being a horse race sponsor!

Thank you Mayor Mitch Ingram for sponsoring the fun and always festive Photo Booth!

A very special thank you to our Rescue Squad and all of our incredible volunteers who showed up in a big way—from helping throughout the event to staying late for cleanup. Your hard work behind the scenes kept everything running smoothly, and we are so grateful for your dedication to making Derby Day a success!

We also want to thank Regions Bank for sponsoring our Grand Prize and for rolling up their sleeves to volunteer—helping sell out Diamond Roulette and adding to the excitement of the night. Your support truly made a difference! 💎

Because of each of you, Derby Day continues to grow, bring people together, and make a real impact in our community. We are so grateful! 💚

We would like to recognize and sincerely thank Stacy McWilliams for her extraordinary devotion to the United Way Santa’s Helper Program. Through her tireless efforts, 617 children in Monroe County received brand-new clothing and toys this year.

With the help of just eight volunteers, assisting intermittently, Stacy carried the responsibility of this program from start to finish. She managed sign-ups, recruited sponsors and shoppers, organized family information to ensure every child received the correct clothing sizes and requested toys, and personally coordinated pick-up times with parents.

Stacy dedicated over 128 hours outside of her regular work schedule to United Way to ensure the success of Santa’s Helper. Her commitment, organization, and compassion made a lasting impact on hundreds of children and families in our community. This program would not be possible without her unwavering dedication, and we are incredibly grateful for all she has done.

So many coats donated and we are thrilled to make sure they get distributed! ❤️

In this season of being thankful, we want to express how much we appreciate our customers and the generosity you continue to show throughout our communities.

Thank you to Caylen with United Way of Monroe County Tennessee for visiting our Madisonville Main office branch and accepting the coats donated through our bank-wide Winter Coat Drive. Your partnership helps ensure these coats reach families who need them most. Stay tuned to learn how many coats were collected and donated.

We also want to share our heartfelt thanks to Erica Warren for giving us the opportunity to honor her father, Doug Warren, through this meaningful effort. His legacy of service and compassion continues to guide and inspire us.

We are grateful for everyone who donated, supported, and helped make this year’s coat drive a success.
