Community Involvement

A Tradition of Equine Excellence...A Commitment to Community
Many of the Junior League of Lexington's philanthropic efforts are funded through its greatest and most notable event, the Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show. Now celebrating its 75th anniversary, the Horse Show has generated nearly $4 million dollars, which has greatly benefitted the local community. The Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show has become one of the most prestigious events in the Saddlebred inudstry and is the first leg of the Saddlebred Triple Crown.

Meeting the Needs of the Community
For more than 85 years, the Junior League of Lexington has been a founding contributor of several local agencies including Baby Health Services, Lexington Children's Theater, Opportunity Workshop of Lexington, Living Arts and Science Center, Chrysalis House, and the Hope Center For Women. Today league members continue to support these agencies and many others with their time, resources and talents.

Preserving the Historic Bodley-Bullock House
In 1984, as a contribution to Lexington's historic preservation efforts, the Junior League of Lexington entered into a long term lease to care for the Bodley-Bullock House. The league agreed to renovate the home in historic Gratz Park and use it as its headquarters. We are committed to honoring the testamentary wishes of the home's last owner, Mrs. Minnie Bullock, and the current owner, Transylvania University, by opening the home to the public, displaying collections belonging to the Bullocks, and preserving the house and gardens through renovation and ongoing maintenance.

Shopping for a Cause
In 2007, the Junior League of Lexington launched its newest fundraiser the Holly Day Market. The market, held during the second weekend in November, attracts merchants from all over the country to sell their wares to thousands of Central Kentucky shoppers. Proceeds from the Holly Day Market assist the league with its charitable efforts to assist agencies and promote the quality of life in the Bluegrass.
