The University of Louisville/Yearlings Club Community Spirit Awards presentation and reception will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Yearlings Club, 4309 W. Broadway.
The awards honor people who show a sustained commitment to improving the quality of life of community citizens and students and whose civic engagement and social responsibility extend beyond their expected service.
The 2015 Community Spirit Awards will go to:
- Elmer Lucille Allen, ceramic and textile artist and retired Brown-Forman Corp. chemist
- Raymond Burse, Kentucky State University president
- Benjamin Richmond, Louisville Urban League president and chief executive officer
The UofL/Yearlings Club discussion series runs monthly during the regular school year at the club. The series seeks to bring university faculty members and residents together to share expertise, discuss issues and forge bonds.
The Yearlings Club, established in 1951, is devoted to promoting civic responsibility, community service and leadership development.
