Be our guest and enjoy authentic mint juleps, a Derby Hat Contest, live horse races, a giant screen broadcast of the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs, and more, all while enabling us to provide prevention, intervention, shelter and counseling to youth in crisis and their families 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at no charge to the child or their family.
