A Journey of Strength, Hope, and Community: From Diagnosis to Victory

In 2023, my dear friend Kristine was diagnosed with blood cancer—a heartbreaking reminder of life’s fragility. Her resilience inspired me to join the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Visionary of the Year campaign. With our community’s incredible support, we raised nearly $105,000 by June 2024, and I was honored to be named LLS Visionary of the Year.

Now, as an LLS Board of Trustees member, my commitment to this cause is stronger than ever. I’m thrilled to announce the return of the Get Down and Derby event on March 19, 2025—an evening of fun, inspiration, and hope.

Your support fuels life-saving research and provides critical resources for families facing blood cancer. Together, we can create a future without this disease. 💌 Will you join me in this mission? Every dollar makes a difference.

With gratitude,
Elaine Zelker

BOURBON TASTING

How do you know when a whiskey is sweet? Can you distinguish between caramel, honey and syrup? What does vanilla really smell like?

You may know what spicy is, but is it minty, herbal, peppery, rye bread? What distinguishes a cherry from a green apple or a banana?

Taking the time to go through these nuances can really make a difference when it comes to nosing whiskey.

Let's do a little Bourbon Tasting!

Mint Julep Station

The Mint Julep is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby, which has helped propel the cocktail's popularity. Tens of thousands of Mint Juleps are served at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and countless more are enjoyed by fans watching the race throughout the country.

We are happy to say, we are serving Mint Juleps at our event.

$20 (with 2 fills, and you can take home the fancy cup!)
