Help Children by Running for VIPS

The Lynn Family Stampede for VIPS will be held at the Brown Forman Amphitheater at Waterfront Park on September 28, 2024!

The Lynn Family Stampede for VIPS is the only race in the Louisville Metro area that features a division for runners who are blind or visually impaired. We also have race divisions so lace up those running shoes and start training so you can win your category!

All funds raised from this special event will help VIPS provide early intervention services and educational support to Kentucky and Indiana's youngest children with vision loss.

If you'd like to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Justine Aycock, director of development, at jaycock@vips.org.

VIPS needs your support!

The Lynn Family Stampede for VIPS is a wonderful opportunity to get those steps in all while doing it to help Kentucky and Indiana's youngest children who are blind or visually impaired receive the educational support they need to thrive.
