Our Charitable Partners
We were thrilled to welcome these tremendous organizations to our Bourbon Base Camp in 2023. They were on hand to talk about who they are and share some stories of the amazing work they do in our communities.
As we get closer to the event, we will have more detailed information on some unique and specific ways that you can help support these phenomenal causes at the Bourbon Burn in 2024.

Bluegrass Land Conservancy
Kentucky’s Bluegrass Land Conservancy has been protecting land for over 25 years through donated conservation easements.
Their Mission
The Bluegrass Land Conservancy seeks to ensure a future where the region’s distinctive soils, cultural heritage, scenic vistas, natural resources, and farms are preserved forever.
Also called a conservation agreement, a conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement which protects a property’s agricultural viability, natural habitat, rural heritage, and/or scenic open space in perpetuity. Through these easements, the Bluegrass Land Conservancy envisions a thriving community where land is protected to sustain Kentucky’s identity, economy, and quality of life.
Burn riders can make an impactful donation to BLC of any amount at any time simply by clicking on the link below.
“We are dedicated to permanently protecting and stewarding lands critical to agricultural viability and community character in the Bluegrass Region. Our work ensures the equine farms of Kentucky will be around for future generations of equine enthusiasts.”
