Maryhurst is pleased to announce the details of its 2016 “Journey of Hope” luncheon on Wednesday, May 18, at The Louisville Downtown Marriott. The annual fundraiser highlights Maryhurst’s work with Kentucky’s abused and neglected children, as well as pays tribute to its many generous supporters and the accomplishments of its alumnae.

This year’s guest speaker is Donna Brothers, NBC Sports on-track reporter, racing analyst, and former jockey.
The 2016 Alumna of the Year honoree is Cherie Jones, a resident on the Maryhurst campus from 1986 – 1987.
In addition to the luncheon, the Maryhurst Boutique will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for luncheon guests and the general public. The boutique will feature art, jewelry and gifts from local artists and Maryhurst girls, plus Maryhurst Gourmet Cookies baked by Desserts by Helen. All proceeds from boutique purchases benefit the children in Maryhurst’s care.

Raffle tickets will also be sold and can be bought for one of five packages for $10 during the luncheon.

“Journey of Hope” 2016 tickets are now available for purchase at $75 each (or $750 for a table of 10); contact Lori Cecil at 502.271.4523 or lori.cecil@maryhurst.org.
