Churchill Downs has committed $150,000 over three years to support educational programs at the Kentucky Derby Museum. The money will allow the museum to continue offering free in-house field trips during January and February and free outreach programming throughout the school year, extending the museum's reach to schools that may not be able to travel to Louisville.
“We are excited to partner with Churchill Downs on this important initiative that directly supports our mission to engage, educate, and excite students about the Kentucky Derby,” said Patrick Armstrong, President and CEO of the Kentucky Derby Museum. “This generous commitment allows us to continue offering free educational programs that our instructors are so passionate about. With our organizations' shared love of education, we're proud to work together with Churchill Downs to not only preserve the Derby's legacy, but also inspire the next generation.”
