The Kentucky Derby brings many great traditions to Louisville. Another great tradition occurs on the Monday of Derby week: the Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation Golf Outing, which raises funds for Norton Children’s Hospital. The 2021 outing raised more than $400,000, thanks to our generous sponsors and community support!

Participants also are invited to the John Asher “Just for Kids” reception on the Sunday before the golf outing.

The 13th Bourbon & Bowties™ will be held on Thursday, June 1, 2023.

The event will feature some of the area’s best chefs preparing hors d’oeuvres, bourbon tastings, the opportunity to purchase a custom bow tie or bangle, and more. Tickets for the 2023 Bourbon & Bowties event will go on sale Thursday, March 23, 2023, at 9 a.m. To be added to the 2023 mailing list, click here.

Join us this year to splash, dash, walk or run in support of Norton Children’s Hospital! Choose a designated 1K splash course or 5K dash course with a scenic view of E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park.

For more than a decade, thousands of families, friends and neighbors have come together to support loved ones and further the lifesaving mission of Norton Cancer Institute!

Whether you are ready to hit the road, want to participate but can’t be there, or have never been on a bike before, we have an option for you! Choose from a 15-, 35-, 65-, or 100-mile supported ride, a 5-mile Family Ride, an hourlong Spin Ride or a Virtual Ride.

There’s no better way to deck your halls for the holidays than through the Festival of Trees & Lights, presented by Republic Bank. You can enjoy shopping for hundreds of beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and greenery, and it’s all for a great cause — supporting the patients at Norton Children’s Hospital.

This black-tie gala, presented by Konica Minolta, features a silent auction along with an elegant dinner and dancing amid a winter wonderland.
