The Gravy Cup

03/05/2026

Thank you for your overwhelming support of Boys & Girls Haven!

On February 28th, we welcomed a record number of attendees into the West Hall of Fame at Louisville Slugger Field. Your donation and a portion of every purchase supports the youth and families served by Boys & Girls Haven. That impact is only possible because of this community.

We’re deeply grateful to our 2026 sponsors, our 95 energetic volunteers, and to the 30+ professional chefs and home cooks who brought their best to the table. To our judges Southern Flair with Chef Brandi, Jereme McFarland, and Melissa Born - thanks for lending your time and tastebuds.

A special thank you to Mike Bucci (2026 Emcee), The Aesthetic, our vendors - ChipIn Golf, Yelp Louisville, Louisville Kings, Jeff's Donuts, Starbucks, Harmony Events and Rentals - Miss KY Ariana Rodriguez, and EthanAlmighty for their support.

Thank you as well to the entire team at Louisville Bats for their partnership and for hosting us in such an iconic venue.

And of course - BIG congratulations to the 2026 winners!
