Every event funds real research, right here in Kentuckiana

Kentuckiana Friends of V brings our community together — on the course, the court, and beyond — to raise funds for cancer research and prevention right here in Kentuckiana. Since 2021, we've grown giving nearly 5x, directing real dollars to institutions like Norton Children's Hospital Foundation, UofL Brown Cancer Center and the UK Markey Cancer Foundation.  More about us here.
