Kolby's Fundraiser for The Cabbage Patch

My Cabbage Patch Story
Hi! My name is Kolby Atkinson and I have worked at The Cabbage Patch for 5 years. The work of The Cabbage Patch is meaningful to me because of the amazing opportunities and experiences we provide our youth. Day in and day out, I have been blessed to see children grow mentally, emotionally, and physically, and develop into some truly exceptional individuals. I'm extremely grateful and honored to be a part of this mission. 

As part of Give for Good Louisville, we are having a staff challenge to fundraise $5,000 to support programs for children, youth, and families in Louisville. Please help me reach my goal to raise $150 to reach our goal! 

About The Cabbage Patch

The Cabbage Patch is a local nonprofit empowering children, youth, and families to reach their full potential since 1910. "The Patch," as it's affectionately known, is named after the section of Old Louisville where it was founded by Louise Marshall, a determined young woman who dedicated her life to its service. 

Our mission is to provide life-changing academic, recreational, and mentoring opportunities through Christ-centered values. We also strive to establish deep relationships and promote family stability. Today, The Patch:

• Provides after-school educational and recreational programming to Louisville youth (ages 8-18).
• Serves around 40 graduated members through the College Scholars Program, providing guidance and financial support to students pursuing higher education or a trade.
• Supports families with immediate assistance and long-term case management services, as needed.
• Removes barriers to build a sense of community, purpose, and belonging for people who need it most.
