4. Is this for charity?
YES! We are so excited to be working with THREE fabulous charities. Norton Children's Hospital Foundation, L.O.U. Louisville Outreach for the Unsheltered, and The First Car Project (SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO about each!!)
L.O.U. Louisville Outreach for the Unsheltered
L.O.U. is a local organization that focuses on bringing resources to some of the most vulnerable populations in Louisville. They not only bring food and water and clothing but they also develop relationships with the unsheltered and help to connect them with the resources they need to find housing or the help they need.
Visit their tent for ice cold waters and sno-cones. All proceeds go to LOU.

Norton Children's Hospital Foundation
The Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation is the philanthropic arm for Norton Children’s pediatric facilities and services. The foundation raises funds exclusively for Norton Children’s Hospital, Kentucky’s only full-service, free-standing hospital created “Just for Kids”; Norton Children’s Medical Center; and pediatric services at Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital to support programs, equipment, new technologies, clinical research, child advocacy and health education for patients, families, medical staff and the community.

The First Car Project
The First Car Project is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to gift cars to foster youth in the state of Kentucky. These young adults are transitioning out of the care system and into independent living. Having reliable transportation will enable them to access employment and college/vocational education. There are many obstacles along the path for this vulnerable population and The First Car Project hopes to eliminate one. We are so excited to hand off the keys to two deserving individuals at Cars in the Commons!
Donations go to the procurement of vehicles, maintenance and updates to ensure reliability and safety, insurance stipends, and tax/registration fees for each recipient.
