Community Health Charities

Recently, I attended the 2010 Champions in Health Awards Dinner which raised money for Community Health Charities (CHC). According to its web site, “CHC Community Health Charities of Kentucky is a federation of state’s premier health organizations that have joined together to raise charitable contributions in the workplace.”

CHC’s charities include:

Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Kentucky and Southern Indiana

American Diabetes Association, Kentucky Affiliate

American Lung Association of Kentucky

Arthritis Foundation Ohio River Valley Chapter

Brain Injury Alliance of Kentucky

Community Health Charities of Kentucky

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Kentucky Chapter

Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana

Harbor House of Louisville, Inc.

Huntington’s Disease Society of America, Kentucky Chapter

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Kentucky & So. Indiana Stroke Association

Kentucky Hemophilia Foundation

Kosair Children’s Hospital

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc.,The

Mental Health America of Kentucky

Muscular Dystrophy Association – Greater Louisville

National Multiple Sclerosis Society KY-SE Indiana Chapter

Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky, Inc.

Parkinson Support Center of Kentuckiana

Sickle Cell Association of Kentuckiana

Special Olympics Kentucky

Spina Bifida Association of Kentucky

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Lexington Affiliate

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Louisville Affiliate

These organizations do great work for the people of greater Louisville and are completely self-supporting. They receive little or no support from Metro United Way and are dependent upon the support of people in the community.

Consider supporting one or more of these organizations financially, either through CHC or directly with the organization.
