TKO Flight Club is having a Derby party, and so let’s begin with proper introductions.
At TKO Flight Club, we are passionate about two things: bourbon and making a positive impact in our community. As a non-profit organization, we host bourbon tastings and events to raise funds for charitable causes, with a special focus on improving the lives of Parkinson’s patients.
Our mission is to better the lives of Parkinson’s patients through fundraising for therapeutic training, support and research. We do this by hosting events that cater to the KY Bourbon culture and community. However, we cannot achieve these goals alone – we need your support!
The 2024 edition of TKO Flight Club’s annual KY Bourby takes place at Progress Park Airstream Resort & Event Center (4501 Progress Blvd., Louisville) on Saturday, April 27 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
