The Backside Learning Center (BLC)–an independent non-profit organization providing support and resources for the diverse community of racetrack workers and their families at Churchill Downs–will hold its annual fundraiser, “Benefit for the Backside: A Day at the Races Celebrating the BLC's 20th Anniversary”, at noon ET on Friday, Nov. 22 at the track's First Turn Club, the organization said via a Thursday release.
All money raised through this annual event goes directly toward programming, resources and costs associated with the work of the BLC.
Over its 20-year history, the BLC staff has grown from 2 to 18 with an annual budget over $1 million. With programs centered around educational support for both adults and youth, the BLC serves as a “home away from home” for the backside community.
