Cedar Lake Lodge and Residences

For the second year, Cedar Lake and Louisville Collegiate School held our Partnership Outreach 5K run/walk. The event was held on Saturday, May 8, and the 5K and 1-mile Fun Run began at twilight (6 p.m.) in the Historic Cave Hill Cemetery on Grinstead Drive across from Collegiate. The race course followed the lovely landscape of hills and lakes surrounded by trees, waterfowl and family memorials, and finished on the Louisville Collegiate campus. Students helped to raise more than $15,000 in sponsorships and gifts!

The Cedar Lake Partnership Challenge Outreach promotes an alliance with a local school. The project, launched during the 2006-07 school year, provides students with a mentored service learning opportunity that centers around interactions with individuals with intellectual disabilities. Cedar Lake partnered with Kentucky Country Day School during the project's inaugural year.

Students spent time volunteering during activities with Cedar Lake clients. They collected more than 9,000 articles of clothing during a fund-raising drive and organized and participated in holiday parties with Cedar Lake residents. The CLPC project also included classroom and on-site discussions with Cedar Lake staff. Topics included health care, disabilities, leadership, philanthropy and corporate citizenship.
