Upcoming Storytellers

12/06/2025

We are still feeling incredibly grateful after our Upcoming Storytellers fundraising event this week. Seeing our community come together to celebrate our students’ creativity and growth was truly inspiring.

For those who asked — our silent auction is still open, and there’s still time to bid and support the work we’re doing with young storytellers across Louisville.

We still have several fantastic experiences available:

• 2 Bourbon & Beyond 4-Day VIP Tickets
• 2 Dance Party Tickets to the 2026 Unbridled Eve Derby Gala
• 2 Louder Than Life 4-Day VIP Tickets
• 2 Churchill Downs Fall Meet Starting Gate Suite Tickets
• 2 UofL Men’s Basketball Club Level Tickets
• Whiskey Basket + Dining Package

Every bid directly supports our mission to keep this program free and accessible for youth — providing mentorship, hands-on training, and real-world creative opportunities.

If you’d like to take a look or share with your network, you can find the auction here:
