Thank you, Gatsbys, gangsters, molls and dolls!
Thank you for puttin’ on the ritz at KET’s rescheduled Fall February Fanfare. In Roaring 20s style…feathers and fedoras, swing dancers and barrels of fun transported us back in time to The Olmsted speakeasy. The chance to gather again—safely—plus auction grabs, hotsy-totsy hospitality and razz-ma-jazz by The Mercy Men highlighted the merrymaking. But what made KET’s 23rd annual Louisville fundraising gala truly special was your spirited support!
On behalf of Honorary Chairs Jim and Missy Allen, and KET’s Greater Louisville Fund Board, thank you for making “Roaring with KET” the most successful Louisville fundraiser yet!! You and some 300 revelers contributed an all-time high $90,000 to strengthen KET’s impact in area homes, schools and neighborhoods.
