Join CFSI for ‘Winsday’ at Churchill Downs!

The new Derby Week event celebrates the pivotal role nonprofits play in the community

The Community Foundation of Southern Indiana is excited to announce that it will be participating in Winsday: Great Thrills for the Greater Good, a new Derby Week event that celebrates community spirit and philanthropy.

The event will be held on Wednesday, April 30 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. Thanks to a partnership between the Community Foundation of Louisville and Churchill Downs, Winsday will be devoted to uplifting local nonprofit organizations and spotlighting the crucial work they perform in our community.

By purchasing tickets through a participating nonprofit like CFSI, guests will enjoy a day at the races during Derby week and contribute directly to local causes. A portion of each ticket sale will support the organization’s impactful work around the Kentuckiana community.
