Kentucky River Children's Advocacy Center

Today I would like to honor Victoria Halcomb and thank her for her 10 years of service at the Care Cottage. She was the first staff member that I hired. Hiring her was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. On August 22, 2016, Victoria officially joined our Care Cottage team as the Victim’s Advocate. For three years, we worked side by side rebuilding the organization. I will be forever thankful for her dedication to the Care Cottage. During this tumultuous time, she never wavered. She had earned her Bachelor of Social Work degree at UK and was a former practicum student at DCBS. The knowledge and experience she brought to the Care Cottage was of paramount importance in the child advocacy center setting. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She currently serves as our MDT Coordinator and does amazing work in this position as well. She goes above and beyond, not only for the Care Cottage and the children and families we serve, but the community as well. She has served in various roles with Summer in the Park for many years. Currently she serves as the Director of Summer in the Park and if you saw their production of Moana this summer, you know what a fabulous job she does. Most recently she dedicated her time outside the office to helping organize Perry Praise’s one-day outdoor worship & community event in Perry County. Please help me congratulate her on all her accomplishments over the past 10 years. And above all, join me in thanking her for her unwavering dedication and commitment to the Kentucky River Child Advocacy over the past 10 years!!!!!!!! 👏🌟💙🩵 Pam Carey Jonah Gooch Jeff Bob Kaleena Cornett

🎤 The Greatest Hits Night That Helps Kids
Great time. Great cause.

Most fundraisers ask you to buy a table. Kosair Live is trying something bigger.

On July 18, seven artists will take the stage for a 3-hour concert built around one simple idea: play the hits and help local kids.

Kosair Live benefits Kosair for Kids and Kosair Shriners, and organizers say 100% of the proceeds from every ticket sold go directly to the charities and their work serving children across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

⭐ The Lineup
Bailey Zimmerman has quickly become one of country music's biggest stars. Songs you'll know include Rock and a Hard Place, Religiously, and Fall In Love.
Dan + Shay, the Grammy-winning duo that nearly sold out the Yum! Center on their own, bring Tequila, Speechless, and 10,000 Hours.
Gabby Barrett has amassed hundreds of millions of streams with songs including I Hope and The Good Ones.
Hannah Harper, fresh off winning American Idol, broke through with String Cheese and has quickly built a following among younger audiences.
Richard Marx brings classics including Right Here Waiting, Hold On to the Nights, and Satisfied.
John Elefante, former lead singer of Kansas, will perform Dust in the Wind and Carry On Wayward Son.
Richard Page, former lead singer of Mr. Mister, rounds out the lineup with Broken Wings and Kyrie.

🎶 Something For Everyone
That's what makes this lineup interesting. The hottest stars in country music. An American Idol winner. Grammy winners. Classic rock legends. Power ballads from the '80s.
Whether you're 16 or 66, chances are someone on this stage has songs on your playlist.
Louisville's own The Crashers will serve as the house band throughout the evening. And because all seven artists share the stage over 3 hours, organizers say fans can expect some unique moments and combinations that won't happen anywhere else.
