Kentucky Derby Museum receives grant from the Kentucky Colonels
Award helped purchase additional golf cart for specialty tours
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 7, 2017) - The Kentucky Derby Museum received a grant from the Kentucky Colonels in the amount of $7,150 to help purchase a new golf cart for the Museum. After the success of both the Around the Golf Cart and Race Day Golf Cart tours, adding a second golf cart to the Museum's fleet will help keep up with demand for the specialty tours, especially as Derby season fast approaches.
The Kentucky Colonels is an organization of talented and capable men and women appointed by the Governor because of their citizenship and service. Their primary objective is to support Kentucky organizations who stand ready to help our citizens everywhere. The Kentucky Colonels, through their Good Works Program, distributed $1.5 million to support 171 worthy causes this year, which will impact over 3 million people across the state.
"A Kentucky Colonel is more than just a certificate, it's a group of compassionate individuals that care about the citizens of Kentucky and who want to make a difference. We harness our members' generous donations and award grants to not-for-profits to help those most in need throughout the Commonwealth," Barbara Dutschke, Commanding General of the Board of Trustees of the Kentucky Colonels said.
The golf cart will be ready for tours this spring. If you are interested in reserving your spring or Derby season tour, visit DerbyMuseum.org.
