After a taxing year navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Paducah is ready to welcome sunshine and outdoor events this upcoming spring. The Charity League of Paducah’s Backyard Bash could not come at a more perfect time. As an indoor/outdoor event, people can finally get out of the house, all while maintaining a safe environment. The Backyard Bash, held April 24th at the Commonwealth Event Center, will be an adult carnival with live music, putt-putt, corn hole, inflatable axe throwing, a cash bar, food trucks, and so much more. All proceeds benefit the Easterseals West Kentucky. At just $35.00 a ticket, this philanthropic event is exactly what Paducah needs after such a challenging year.
Many natives to the area are familiar with the Charity League of Paducah, as they have transformed the lives of people in this community since 1932. Hosting two major fundraising events each year, these women are faithfully dedicated to the Easterseals West Kentucky, an organization that supports individuals with disabilities and special needs.
While the Charity League of Paducah is best known for the “Snowball” New Year’s Eve party hosted every year, the Backyard Bash in spring of 2021 is the first of its kind. The brilliant ladies of the Paducah Charity League created this unique, adults-only event with safety at the forefront of their vision. The Easterseals depend on the money raised by these events, so the women sought to design an experience that would be successful without putting anyone’s health at risk.
Attendees can enjoy boozy shakes with friends, all while supporting an incredible organization.
Stated beautifully by one of the Backyard Bash’s chairs, Lindsay Batts, “Charity League gives me the opportunity to give back to the community. I love that I am not only able to support the Easterseals, but I am able to give back to other organizations in the community in which I live”.
This event is not only benefiting the Easterseals West Kentucky but also supporting local businesses and bringing members of this community together. There is no limit on ticket sales, so invite a friend and enjoy this year’s Backyard Bash!
