Dine at Coles to benefit Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance

735 E Main St, Lexington, KY 40502-1601, United States After a pandemic-induced break, Coles is thrilled to bring back their Cole's Community Table dinner series, an initiative to benefit local nonprofits making positive change in the Bluegrass! The first dinner will be for the incredible nonprofit Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, which awards grants to organizations to retrain, retire, and rehome Thoroughbreds once their racing career is over. These beautiful animals are an integral part of what makes the Bluegrass so beautiful. Enjoy a fabulous meal AND you'll support a happy and healthy life for the horses at the heart of Lexington's culture. A portion of all proceeds from the night will be donated directly to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. All you have to do is come in and enjoy a delicious meal! More info here.
