On this episode of Behind the Backstretch, we are gearing up for next month's Give for Good Louisville, which is the largest annual fundraising day in the city of Louisville! We sit down with two members of the BLC team to discuss their journeys to our organization and the importance of this day for us!
First, we sit down with Volunteer and Adult English Class Coordinator Alexina Wilson as she discusses her past as a teacher leading up to working at the BLC, the rewarding aspects of her job, and how listeners can be involved in Give for Good and elsewhere!
Then, we talk with BLC board member Glenn Kosse as he delves into his experience in fundraising, how his interest in horse racing led him to the BLC, the importance of backside workers to the sport and the city, and why giving days are vital to organizations like ours.
Give for Good Louisville 2023 is taking place on September 14th. You can find the BLC giving page on giveforgoodlouisville.org, and then search for the name of our organization. Or, you can find our page with this short link. Bit.ly/GFGL_BLC
