Held annually on the first Saturday in May at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, the Denver Derby Party draws a crowd of impeccably dressed, mint-julep imbibing revelers to celebrate the Kentucky Derby, and simultaneously invest in the education of Denver’s youth. LIV Sotheby’s International Realty (LIV SIR) broker Ron Martinez, one of the founding members of the Sean “Ranch” Lough Foundation, has been on the Board of Directors since its existence in 2001, and had the honor of presenting this year’s scholarship winner, Zach Valadez, a Littleton High School senior and first in his family to attend college, with a full ride to Colorado State University.

“I am privileged to be one of the founders of this fantastic group of people that organizes and hosts this annual event,” said LIV Sotheby’s International Realty broker, Ron Martinez. “I have been charged with leading the Scholarship Committee and am always thrilled to have a fine local CSU attendee carry the Sean Lough flag, keeping the spirit of our friend alive”
