Nonprofits Win Big During “Winsday,” a Partnership Between Community Foundation of Louisville and Churchill Downs Incorporated

Over $122,000 Raised for 50 Local Organizations Participating in First-Ever Nonprofit-Focused Derby Weekday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 12, 2025) - Churchill Downs Incorporated (Nasdaq: CHDN) (the "Company," "CDI") announced today that over $122,000 was donated to 50 nonprofits participating in "Winsday," the Company's first nonprofit-focused Derby weekday in history.

In partnership with the Community Foundation of Louisville, CDI hoped to highlight the work these nonprofits do in the city that make it a more vibrant place to live, work and play. By purchasing "Winsday" tickets through one of the nonprofits below, guests directly contributed to these vital agencies with a portion of each ticket sale benefiting their incredible work.

Participating nonprofits also had the chance to earn special cash prizes beyond their ticket sales. In the Charity Post Draw, twenty nonprofits were randomly paired with a Derby horse. Whatever place the organization's assigned Derby horse finished in during 151^st running determined the prize amount award.

• First Place: $20,000 - Buy Local Louisville Foundation
• Second Place: $15,000 - The dePaul School
• Third Place: $10,000 - Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve
  

The remaining organizations randomly selected for the Charity Post Draw earned $2500. For those not selected, they had more opportunities to win cash prizes for their organizations during the Second Chance and Supporter Drawings.

"We're incredibly proud of the generosity shown through 'Winsday' and the overwhelming community response," said Claire Simms, CDI's Senior Director of Corporate Social Responsibility. "This initiative was about more than just a race day; it was about celebrating and supporting some of the nonprofits that make our region stronger, more compassionate and more connected."

"We're especially grateful to the Community Foundation of Louisville for their invaluable partnership in helping us bring this vision to life," said Mark Whitten, CDI's Director of Community Relations. "We hope to build on 'Winsday's' momentum in the years to come and are committed to growing our support for nonprofits through enrichment and continued collaboration."
