Projects Supported by the Kentucky Derby Fundraiser

Money raised at the Kentucky Derby will support the Junior League in their work on community projects such as Food 4 Thought (F4T). F4T is a free program offered to Worcester youth, specifically middle school girls ages 10-14. The event consists of a healthy of dinner or snack that helps to teach the girls about nutrition and underscore the value of making healthy food choices, followed by self-sufficiency focused workshops focused on important issues to young girls such as body image/ health, self-esteem, study and social skills, financial literacy, personal safety, stress management and others.

Junior League members leverage their training to develop and facilitate the program as well as serve as mentors to the girls through interactive participation.
