Star gymnast Simone Biles donates her Kentucky Derby hats to charity auction
World-renowned gymnast Simone Biles is making a major contribution to a Louisville charity just one week after the Kentucky Derby.
Biles was a big part of the festivities last weekend, delivering the "Riders up!" call that signals the jockeys to mount their horses.
The hats that Biles wore during the weekend were made in Louisville by The Hat Girls.
Now, Biles鈥� hats will go up for auction to benefit Kosair for Kids, a nonprofit with a mission to enhance the health and well-being of children in the Louisville region.
Kosair for Kids Hats On for Healing auction is next year, March 12, 2026, but bidding has already started. Click for more information.
Biles is coming off a tremendous performance at the Paris Olympics, in which she won three gold medals and a silver medal for Team USA.
