this free public amenity on an annual basis.
ABOUT KIRK HERBSTREIT:
Widely recognized as the name and face of college football, Kirk has been with ESPN/ABC since 1995, including more than 20
seasons co-hosting it’s popular College Gameday studio show and 10 years on ABC’s Saturday Night Prime Time broadcast. Kirk has
been nominated 7 times for the Sports Emmy Award as television’s top studio analyst and is a two time winner of the Award. Kirk also
was recently nominated for the Sports Emmy Award as Best Game Analyst. Kirk has also called 9 Rose Bowl games and the last 6
National Championship games.
ABOUT TERRY MEINERS:
A Louisville legend, Terry Meiners has been on air in some form or fashion in Louisville since 1981 - and with WHAS since 1985. He
was voted favorite media personality over 20 times - forcing Louisville Magazine to get rid of the category all together. His deep love of
Louisville is undeniable as he’s led countless philanthropic efforts through years, not least of which is his annual leadership of WHAS’s
“Crusade for Children”. A UK grad, Terry enjoys golf, marathons, and is a frequent user of The Parklands.

ABOUT THE PARKLANDS OF FLOYDS FORK:
Managed by the nonprofit 21st Century Parks, The Parklands is a donor-supported public park in Louisville,
Kentucky. Stretching 4,000 acres between Shelbyville and Bardstown Roads, The Parklands is one of the largest
and most ambitious metropolitan parks projects in the nation, and will be complete and open to the public by the
spring of 2016. The Parklands provides world-class amenities including miles of hiking, biking, walking, and
paddling trails, as well as a dog park, playgrounds and spraygrounds, and expansive lawns and facilities for
community events. In 2015 The Parklands recorded 1.4 million visits, with only a portion of the park system open
to the public. More than 12,000 Louisvillians participated in outdoor education programming, of whom about
1,000 were scholarship students. Volunteers donated more than 8,000 hours and between construction,
volunteerism, and our annual operations, we planted more than 8,600 trees. By the spring of 2016, The
Parklands will have more than doubled in size in terms of open park acreage, and with that comes a need
for more support.

WHO BENEFITS:
This unique fundraiser benefits The Parklands of Floyds Fork, one of the largest and most ambitious urban
parks in the nation operated by a nonprofit. The Parklands does not receive tax dollars to support annual
operations and therefore relies on the community to help raise more than $2 million annually to provide
world-class park experiences across nearly 4,000 acres. Our 2016 goal is to raise more than $200,000
from the Kick-Off Luncheon, including more than $40,000 in day-of
donations. Your sponsorship, as well as your table attendees’ day-of
donations, help us to reach our goal each year.
Coming Soon!
