Kiwanis’ derby-themed party raises money for MC youth

Attendees at the Middlesex County Kiwanis Club’s annual Kentucky Derby-themed fundraising party Saturday at Christchurch School’s Marston Hall consumed delicious food and drink, danced and donated generously so that Middlesex children will prosper and realize their dreams. (Contributed)

Kiwanians and their guests watched on large screen televisions as Mage went on to win the 149th edition of the race in 2:01.57. Mage was reportedly a surprise winner — the horse had only won a single race previously and had 15-1 odds of winning. Speaking to the attendees, Middlesex County Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Seitz (left) told the crowd how important its donations were for the support of student scholarships.
