Happy Derby Week from the BLC! 🐴🎉We have an action-packed episode this week, as we first speak with current board member Carla Grego about her experience at Churchill Downs and the momentum she sees picking up for the Backside Learning Center.
Then, diving into that momentum, we get to hear from Brook Smith, a long-time BLC supporter who discusses his past works in business and philanthropy, his history with horse racing and the BLC, and some major bets he's placed on the Kentucky Derby that could benefit our organization tremendously!
