The Robby Albarado Foundation is out of the Gate for 2010!
Posted on 29. Jan, 2010 by Robby Albarado in New News
Happy New Year, everyone! This year is setting up to be an incredibly exciting 2010 for the Robby Albarado Foundation. But before we look ahead to this year, I want to reflect back on 2009 and the differences in lives the Foundation made.
Thanks to the gracious support of so many of you, the Foundation was able to support two incredibly worthy causes:
1.) We helped fund a children’s park near Churchill Downs in honor of Ceasar Ivan Cano, a young buy tragically killed nearly three years ago near the track. Through your support, the park will serve as a safe haven for young children to play and to simply be kids. Swing sets, slides and playground equipment will also provide a healthy outlet for all their energy.
2.) The Foundation also contributed to Father Maloney’s Boys’ Haven here in Louisville. Boys Haven works to shelter, heal and teach young people to become productive citizens in their times of need. Particularly, we supported the Boys’ Haven Equine Program, where they’re taught that responsibility, pride and hard work do pay off! It’s an awesome program and we’re proud to be a part of it!
I’d also like to thank three retiring Board Members: Gary Demling, Rob Mooney and Cynthia Padgett. Gary was a main key in establishing this Foundation 2.5 years ago when all we had was a vision. Gary brought that vision into focus and, without him, this Foundation would not be. His tireless efforts were incredible. Rob Mooney was a key Board Member in establishing the Foundation’s relationship with Bearno’s pizza — and the incredible money they’ve raised to support the Foundation. Cynthia also contributed much of her time and talents to the Foundation, and her passion to make a difference really supported the Foundation well. Thank you Gary, Rob and Cynthia.
Looking ahead, we’re moving quickly towards the Foundation’s Cocktail Party & Silent and Live Auction, as well as the Foundation’s Golf Classic. The Cocktail party is set for April 25, 2010 — and the Golf Classic is teeing off April 26, 2010. Keep checking the website at www.robbyalbaradofoundation.org for more details as they’re completed.
Thanks again to each of you who are helping the Foundation make a difference in lives all around the community. Without your support, our Foundation could not continue its mission. So I thank you very much!
Till next time!
Robby
