This
Charitable Superhero had no idea what her neighbor is up to.

Marlena is enjoying being a Champion and plans to continue
her support of the organization long after the Champion program ends.
“It’s not about the prizes; it’s about raising awareness and support for BBKY. I’m really enjoying meeting new people and spreading the word. It’s such a great program and more people need to be aware of it.”
Her neighborhood connection to the organization wasn’t the
only surprising thing. Marlena says,
“Something that surprised me, is how generous everybody in Louisville has been toward BBKY, donating funds and auction items. It’s been amazing to hear of so many people who are excited to give back to such a great organization.”
Marlena looks forward to the Murder Mystery Dinner, and has
collected some really great items for the silent auction. Her auction list
includes: a University of Louisville basket with a t-shirt, coffee mugs, a
voucher for 4 football tickets, 4 basketball tickets, and an autographed football
by coach Charlie Strong; a family package for Christmas at the Galt House and a
one-night stay in a deluxe suite; a Brown-Forman basket with a selection of products; and a framed picture
of the Louisville Legends, complete with autographed matte featuring Legends Denny
Crumb, Pat Day, and Joe B Hall, among others.
Those are auction items any Louisville native would be
excited to win. But the real winners here are the children and young adults
whose friendships those auction items will support, and two neighbors who've
joined forces for a great cause.
