What it Takes to Win

We all know it takes a team of people to get a horse to the Kentucky Derby. The owner, jockey, trainer, farrier, veterinarians and grooms must all work

together to ensure the horse has a chance to cross the finish line in first place. The 1si Membership Derby works the same way. Teams of members are needed to ensure that the non-profit member they choose crosses the finish line and receives their rewards.

What does it take? Each team must enroll ten or more new members. Not only will the winning horse get to skip its 1si membership dues for 2016, but teams and individuals will also have an opportunity to win fabulous prizes. In addition, each team and not-for-profit organization will get special mentions during the campaign online, in the One Weekly and at events!

So don't wait - jockey up, put a team together and choose your horse below:

1. American Red Cross Louisville Area Chapter
2. Boy Scouts of America Lincoln Heritage Council
3. Boys and Girls Club of Kentuckiana
4. Camp Quality Kentuckiana
5. Communities in Schools of Clark County
6. The Falls of the Ohio Foundation Inc.
7. Family and Children's Place
8. Hope Southern Indiana
9. Life Springs Health Services
10. Ohio River Greenway Commission
11. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana
12. Southern Indiana Youth for Christ

Don't have a team but want to help? Fantastic! We will help you find a team who will value your unique contributions to crossing the finish line. Don't see your favorite 1si non-profit organization? Give us a call if you have another not-for-profit organization in mind! For more information, contact Danny James at dannyj@1si.org.
