Donors Help Change Lives
The shutdowns associated with COVID-19 have created extremely challenging circumstances for the families we serve. Financial gifts made through our website will continue to be very impactful at this time.
The Club is in urgent need for support for its summer program. This program has historically been funded through the Kentucky Derby fundraising event that had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. The Club’s summer program provides vital support to youth and families during an especially vulnerable time of year when they can no longer rely on the supervision and meals provided through the school system. We anticipate that when we return to in-person programming, our Club members will need us more than ever. Financial gifts made in support of our summer program will enable us to help the youth in this community who need us the most.
