Bridles and Bourbon Derby Party

A Derby-Inspired Celebration Benefiting the Two Rivers Foundation

Join us for an elevated evening of Southern tradition, fine bourbon, signature cocktails, roses, races, and curated connections — all in support of Effingham’s future.

Bridles & Bourbon marks the inaugural public fundraiser for the Two Rivers Foundation, the charitable arm of the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce.

While the Chamber focuses on business advocacy and economic growth, the Foundation exists to invest in the people and pipelines that sustain that growth — including leadership development, youth programs, workforce readiness, and regional storytelling initiatives.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Two Rivers Foundation allows the Chamber to expand its impact through educational and community-based programming that strengthens Effingham for generations to come.
Rooted between the Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers, the Foundation strengthens the people, businesses, and identity that define our region.

Proceeds directly support leadership and workforce initiatives that build long-term community strength.

This event is intentionally designed to bring together those shaping the future of Effingham County. Proceeds directly support leadership and workforce initiatives that build long-term community strength.
