The Healing Place has again been selected as the charity of choice for the Annual Foyt Family Winery Golf Classic to be held on Tuesday, May 21. This event is sponsored by the Indianapolis Colts and will be held at  the historic Brickyard Crossings Golf Course at the Indianapolis Speedway Track. This is the second year for the event and the second year of participation by The Healing Place.

A limited number of individual golfers and foursomes are available. Consider being a Hole Sponsor.  Click here for sign up for the event.

We are very excited to invite you to  the 25th annual Healthcare Classic 5k Walk/Run, organized by University of Louisville medical students. This year it will be held Saturday, March 30 at 9:00am at Hogan's Fountain in Cherokee Park.

The awesome thing about this race is that all proceeds will be donated to the Healing Place, a wonderfully successful and nationally acclaimed addiction recovery program and homeless shelter here in Louisville. This unique program completely relies on charitable donations to sustain its operations- help us keep the Healing Place going strong by running in this race!

With your registration fee, you are not only registered in the race, but you also will receive a T-shirt, goody bag, and refreshments on race day. This race promises to provide runners and walkers a fun race day, all the while benefiting a wonderful organization! Early Registration only $15 until March 5.

Employees with Humana were very active volunteering their time, talent, and treasure with The Healing Place.  One team built a much needed privacy fence at the men's campus on Market Street and painted a bathroom in a high-traffic use bathroom.

Additionally, a team of volunteers and family members helped assemble 700 gift bags of donated goods to the men and women clients.  Bags included personal care items, scarves, hats, sweatshirts, t-shirts, journals, and other items. 

Thanks Humana!

We would live to thank Mrs. Meriweather and her crew of volunteers for serving the men at our Market Street campus on Christmas Day.  She has been a vital volunteer for over 20 years.
