Sportsmen’s Saturday is the ultimate gathering for outdoor enthusiasts or those who want to make a difference. This fun filled event is presented by Rock Outdoors and proudly hosted by the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist – Lexington Medical Center Foundation.
Now in its 15th year, this premier event is hosted each November and has become the largest annual fundraiser for Lexington Medical Center, connecting with thousands of people, across eleven states, and raising over $130,000 each year to support our community hospital.
By purchasing a Sportsmen’s Saturday ticket, you are entered for a chance to win over $125,000 in incredible prizes — all while enjoying an unforgettable day in uptown Lexington. Each ticket includes delicious food, refreshing beverages, and live entertainment.
Thanks to the incredible support of local businesses, individuals, and community partners, more than $1 million has been raised over the past 14 years! Every dollar raised stays right here in Lexington, helping fund cutting-edge healthcare and enhance the patient's experience.
Previous proceeds have helped bring big improvements to Lexington Medical Center, including upgrades to the Emergency Department, a brand-new Surgical Services Facility, the Da Vinci Surgical Robot, 3D Mammography, and enhancements to Physical Therapy services.
Proceeds from this past year and this upcoming year’s Sportsmen’s Saturday will benefit the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Lexington Medical Center – Cancer Center, now part of Levine Cancer.
Sportsmen’s Saturday isn’t just a great time — it’s an impactful way to give back and make a lasting difference here in our community.
