The Iroquois Steeplechase, presented by Bank of America, is launching a “Party in a Box” for a safer-at-home celebration on the event’s canceled race day Saturday, June 27. The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt is the primary beneficiary of the race meet.
In making the announcement, Iroquois Steeplechase Chairman Dwight Hall said, “Since boxholders won’t be able to come to their box on our race day, we’re bringing a box to them. This way families and friends can still gather and celebrate Nashville’s grand tradition in their own homes and backyards while watching highlights from previous years on News Channel 5.”

Chairman Dwight Hall added, “We can’t stress enough the importance of raising funds in 2020 to ensure the future of the Iroquois Steeplechase for years to come. We must secure funds to continue operations and to handle expenses which range from course maintenance to fencing, barn upkeep, party decks, irrigation for 11 acres of the course plus all operational expenses such as staffing, insurance, rent and ordinary business expenses. We want our patrons to enjoy the spirit of the Iroquois Steeplechase as they help ensure our future. We hope this helps keep us alive as we jump this hurdle together.”
