Each year, The Cabbage Patch Settlement House makes a profound difference in the lives of 1,000 to 1,200 at-risk

children. In another context, that’s more than 1,000 pairs of feet, and 2,000+ individual footprints.

This summer, hundreds of feet have gone out from The Patch, exploring various nooks and crannies of the Louisville

community and beyond. From Missouri’s Current River to the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center on Newburg Road;

from the Louisville Equestrian Center to the trails of the C&O Tow Path in Maryland…Patch Kids are gaining new

experiences and leaving their mark on the world.

Similarly, the generosity of donors just like you has made

these experiences possible and left your “footprints”

on the lives of these at-risk children. Through your

support, they have gained a new appreciation

for God’s world, made new friends, learned

values such as cooperation and teamwork,

and improved their self esteem.

While hundreds of Patch Kids spent their summers partaking in traditional

“camp” activities, several took advantage of the Teen Club College Visit

Camp to leave footprints on the campuses of area colleges. At the end

of July, the Patch staff took several youth to the University of Kentucky, University

of Louisville, and Western Kentucky University. Students also got a chance to

explore some out of state schools they might be unfamiliar with: Earlham College

and Indiana University.

Campers learned what the college experience is about and explored options

for their future. There was much focus on helping the students discover what

sort of college might be a good fit for them, and on the differences in college

entrance requirements to ensure they are working towards their college

goals. Each year, The Cabbage Patch provides direct scholarship aid totaling

approximately $40,000 to 15-20 college students and maintains close connections

with these students for encouragement and advice.

Several Summer Camps offered by The Cabbage Patch

have been done for decades, but these tried-and-true-

programs never get old. A perfect example is the Canoe

Travel Camp on Missouri’s Current River that has been

a part of The Patch’s summer camp legacy for more

than 30 years!

In June, staffers Frances Lewis and Elizabeth Smith guided

The Patch youth down the river, providing them the rare

opportunity to have a primitive camping experience

and learn all about the skill of canoeing.

Something “Old,” Something NewThis is a trip I remember being part

of when I was a child at The Cabbage

Patch,” Lewis said. “Returning to lead

this trip as an adult is a great experience.

All of the children had a blast. They

worked really hard and learned a lot

about how working together as a team

can accomplish so much.

Our thanks goes out to Brown Forman, who invested in the lives of at-risk children at The Patch directly by organizing and hosting

a 4-week Tennis Clinic. The Clinic, which met twice a week, gave 20 children the opportunity to learn from community tennis

pro’s in a one-on-one setting. One volunteer instructor, Jim, said the chance to interact with the kids “really hit home.”

“I grew up in government housing and played tennis in college. In fact, tennis is what put me through college,” he said.

“I jumped at the chance to be part of this because it gave me a chance to give back and spend some time with great kids.”

“This is my first time playing tennis,” one Patch child said. “I had a lot of fun.”

For the second year, H.O.O.F. KY (Horses Offering

Opportunities for the Future) treated 30 at-risk children

from The Patch to a week of hands-on learning at the

Louisville Equestrian Center.

Like many of the other summer camps and programs

offered by the Cabbage Patch, Horse Camp provided

children with an opportunity to develop a passion for a

sport they may have never experienced before. Participants

learned about the care, stewardship, and training of

horses, and by the end of the week, they could each

ride a horse all on their own!

“Horsing” Around

Long before James “Jamie” Fox became a Master Sergeant in the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing, he was a long-time member and participant in programs at The Cabbage Patch.

“I began attending The Patch around the age of nine and feel like I have never left,” Jamie said. “I stopped going ‘all the time’ around

the age of eighteen, but stayed involved through volunteering, playing basketball occasionally, and just visiting staff.”

During his years at The Patch, Jamie stayed busy.

“I participated in every activity that I could find time for: baseball, basketball, flag-football, high adventure club, week

camps, day camps, and several different trips. I was one of [Rod] Napier’s trainees, I was a camp counselor, I worked for

Mr. Chin at several camps, helped with Model Car Club, and I coached basketball teams.” All of these experiences taught Jamie a lot about

responsibility and getting along with others.

“The Patch taught me how to work with other people, regardless of their background, to accomplish goals and solve problems,” he said.

Fox said he always looked forward to coming to The Cabbage Patch because he knew it was a safe place to see friends and stay busy.

“For me, it was a place where you knew the staff cared about who you were, how you were, and how things were going in your life,” he said. “They were happy to see you and they cared. To this day my wife always jokes with me that I am the only poor kid she knows that had the opportunity to go on a

100-mile canoe trip, go camping up in New York, and take trips all over the place. The Patch is an incredible place that has positively affected an ever-growing number of lives.”

The Cabbage Patch often discusses the concept of “Winning for Life” with kids who participate in Patch Programs.

“Winning for Life means using all the tools that I learned at The Patch and from my Mom (I was raised by a single mother), and being able

to be a productive member of society and a positive role model for my own children as well as those I affect through my volunteering,” he said. “It means giving back for all that has been given to me. I don’t know that I would be where I am today if it weren’t for all that The Patch was for me.”

Your favorite charity (we hope The

Cabbage Patch) may be the beneficiary

of part or all of a retirement plan or

an insurance policy. A charitable

beneficiary of a retirement plan

or IRA pays no income tax or estate

tax on your retirement plan or IRA!

Changing a beneficiary requires the

use of forms that have been designed

for the particular type of account you

have with the company that manages

your account or issued your insurance

policy. To change a beneficiary you

must obtain the proper form, fill it out

correctly and return it to the company.

You cannot change a beneficiary

designation by your Will. Therefore, it is

as important to review your beneficiary

designations as it is to review your Will.

Many times an unintended beneficiary

receives assets because a person

hadn’t updated the primary benefi-

ciary or the contingent beneficiary

since a divorce, death, or change of

circumstance.

PLANNED GIVING.A Will is rarely enough.

The Cabbage Patch was a “Hive of Activity” on June 12 as Board Members, volunteers, and other guests gathered in Holladay Hall for the 2012 Celebration Luncheon. This annual lunch allows us to celebrate another year of profoundly impacting the lives of at-risk children and recognize members of the community who give of their time and talents to help others. This year’s Keynote Speaker was DeVone Holt, author, radio show host and public education administrator. Holt spoke about “Creating Successful Children” and noted this year’s Roosevelt Chin Changing Lives Award recipient was a mentor to him as a child. The 2012 Roosevelt Chin Changing Lives Award was presented to Gerri Woods, Director of Education and Fine Arts at the Louisville Central Community Center. Like Roosevelt Chin, Ms. Woods sees the potential in others and truly understands that our greatest asset is our children.

So much to celebrate!

In its second year, our Putt fore The Patch miniature golf tournament was a wonderful success! More than 250

players, spectators, and volunteers were part of this unique event featuring a custom-designed, indoor

miniature golf course decorated with Louisville landmarks. The event was held on April 18 at Mellwood

Arts & Entertainment Center and helped The Patch raise more than $23,000 to help at-risk children

and families grow into their full potential.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Bryan and Erica Cecil have been enthusiastic volunteers at The Cabbage Patch for two-and-a-half years. The couple started donating their time to The Patch because they wanted to do their civic duty and give back to the community, but the children and youth they work with keep them coming back week after week.

The Cecils believe The Cabbage Patch provides children a safe haven to learn and grow and has found a special place in their hearts. In turn, the children at The Patch are always excited to see Bryan and Erica. Stability and structure are two important elements we provide, and the Cecils agree that it is important for the children to see consistent faces each week. In this way, the Cecils have become true role models for the at-risk children and youth we serve.

“The Patch kids are all great kids and are unique in their own special way,” they said. “There is not one greater than the other.”

Bryan and Erica are eager to share the fellowship of Christ and know that God has a special plan for each child.

“The opportunities at The Cabbage Patch are truly limitless for the kids,” they said. “At The Patch, everyone is there to support each other.”

Each year, The Cabbage Patch Settlement House relies on the expertise and assistance of our dedicated volunteers. Last year, approximately 1,000 volunteers contributed more than 12,000 hours to support the work of The Cabbage Patch. To all of you we say, “Thank you!”
