The VIPS Gala & Auction
Thank you to everyone who supported our 2024 VIPS Gala. From our virtual attendees bidding furiously in the Silent Auction to the lightning-fast sellout of our Bourbon Pull raffle, the energy was nothing short of contagious! The Louisville Boat Club was pulsating with excitement as joyful faces filled the venue, creating an atmosphere that was buzzing with celebration and generosity!
Get ready to party like never before on May 17, 2025, at the beautiful Progress Park! Our 40th Birthday is happening in style at the 2025 VIPS Gala, our largest event of the year! It's not just any celebration—it's a milestone moment you won't want to miss. Join us for an unforgettable evening of festivities and fundraising, where we'll mark four decades in the most spectacular fashion imaginable!
