The Columbia Memorial Hospital Foundation invites the community to support the BuildCMH Expansion Project at the fourth annual Diamond Derby.

By purchasing a ticket or table for the fundraiser, attendees can support a cause that will radically change health care on the coast. And, they’ll have fun, too!

“We want the community to know that everyone is invited to the Diamond Derby,” says Mark Kujala, CMH Foundation director. “Not only will your ticket or table purchase support the hospital’s expansion project, but you’ll enjoy a plated dinner and desserts, an open bar, an exciting atmosphere and the opportunity to bid on amazing auction items. Join us as we toast to the future of CMH.”

The fundraiser will be held at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 1 to 4 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to dress to the nines for the running of the 151st Kentucky Derby. The exciting afternoon will feature a meal, live auction, TVs to view the races, special presentations and raffle. All proceeds raised will go toward the BuildCMH Expansion Project.

This year’s featured raffle prizes include a custom-made diamond necklace by Holly McHone Jewelers and several unique local experiences and travel packages, among others.

Tickets cost $200 for individuals, who will be seated at shared tables. Tables for 10 guests range from $1750 to $2500.
