Join us for the 7th Annual Gallop for the Gift on Friday, November 6th, at the iconic Olmsted, where we’ll come together to raise funds for adoption grants right here in Kentucky. Guests will enjoy dinner, drinks, and meaningful stories-including hearing directly from a family whose adoption was made possible through a Gift of Adoption grant.
We’re honored to feature Miss Kentucky, Ariana Rodriguez, as our keynote speaker. As a former foster care child, she brings a powerful, personal perspective on resilience, hope, and the life-changing impact of family — beautifully reflecting the heart of our mission.
Ariana’s organization, The Lucky Ones, brings hope, dignity, and empowerment to youth in foster care. The Lucky Ones is a deeply personal mission rooted in her own experience as a foster child and the belief that every young person—regardless of their circumstances—deserves dignity, joy, and opportunity. Inspired by her journey and driven by a commitment to advocacy, Ariana has created a multi-faceted program that supports children in foster care and empowers youth through practical education and personal connection.
Gift of Adoption provides grants to complete the adoptions of children in vulnerable circumstances—giving them permanent families and a chance to thrive. 100% of the funds raised will help unite children with permanent, loving families.
