Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s Foundation to Host
Fourth Annual Boots & BBQ Bash
Country western-themed fundraiser to benefit Children’s Center at Our Lady of Peace
Louisville, Ky. (July 28, 2017) — It’s time to bring out your country western boots and cowboy hats to help benefit the Children’s Peace Center at Our Lady of Peace, part of KentuckyOne Health. The Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s Foundation will host its Fourth Annual Boots & BBQ Bash fundraiser on Saturday, August 19 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Louisville Marriott East, located at 1903 Embassy Square Boulevard in Louisville. This event will benefit adolescent substance abuse programs and services at Our Lady of Peace.
“Our Lady of Peace works daily to offer treatment for adolescents struggling with substance abuse and support families impacted by addiction,” said Jennifer Nolan, president, Our Lady of Peace. “This event will help us continue to transform our adolescent programs and provide critical support to young people in our community.”
More than 1,500 kids each year are helped by the Children’s Peace Center at Our Lady of Peace. Our Lady of Peace was founded in the 1950s for adults, but as the focus has shifted to children’s care as well, the hospital has taken significant steps to transform the physical facility into a child-focused environment for those in need.
“Each year, the Boots & BBQ Bash raises funds that have a significant impact on Our Lady of Peace and its young patients,” said Leslie Buddeke Smart, CRFE, division vice president of development, KentuckyOne Health. “This event helps support wonderful programs and services, and those attending are truly helping to make a difference in the lives of young people.”
The Boots & BBQ Bash will include silent and live auctions, dinner, and live music from local band Nervous Melvin and The Mistakes. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres begin at 6 p.m., with dinner served at 7 p.m., and music and dancing from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. Guests are encouraged to dress in “country chic” attire. Kevin Harned, chief meteorologist for WAVE 3 News, will serve as master of ceremonies.
Participation opportunities ranging from individual tickets to corporate sponsorships are available. Individual tickets cost $125. For more information on sponsorship packages and tickets, visit www.kentuckyonehealth.com/bootsandbbq or call 502.587.4543.
