During the Fall Meet, which opened Friday and runs through Oct. 24, Keeneland will continue to support and raise funds for Nourish Lexington, which uses the skills and resources of food service and hospitality employees displaced by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to provide nutritious meals for people in need. Nourish Lexington is Keeneland’s featured Fall Meet charity.
Although Keeneland currently remains closed to spectators due to ongoing coronavirus concerns, Keeneland at Home fans and Keeneland Watch Party attendees will also have the opportunity to support Nourish Lexington, which was launched in April.
In addition, Keeneland will support the community in the barn area every Wednesday and Sunday of the meet with Nourish the Backstretch, an extension of Nourish Lexington.
“While this Fall Meet will certainly feel different, Keeneland’s steadfast commitment to supporting our community and our industry remains unchanged,” Keeneland president and CEO Bill Thomason said. “We are excited to use the season to amplify the good works of our community and industry partners and also raise much-needed funds for worthwhile causes.”
