 Thanks for your interest and support!

We’re so thrilled to announce that we’ve named six local organizations as beneficiaries of our $3.45 million HUD grant to help end youth and young adult homelessness in Louisville.

Congratulations to Centerstone, Family Scholar House, Home of the Innocents, KentuckianaWorks, YouthBuild Louisville, and Safe Place—and thanks to all of our partners for their hard work and collaborative approach to the pressing problem of homelessness in our city.

The 2019 Bourbon Mixer will be held on Saturday, August 17, with a theme of Havana Nights! Taste the best Kentucky bourbons paired with delicious Cuban cuisine at the gorgeous Henry Clay—and all for the good cause of ending homelessness in Louisville.

Get your Early Bird tickets for $100 today—they go up to $125 on August 1.

In addition to bourbon and good food, there will be a fabulous silent auction, delicious desserts, and other beverages for non-bourbon drinkers.

Thanks to the Whisky Chicks and Bourbon Brotherhood for planning this event each year to benefit the Coalition!
