Thank you to everyone who participated in the first annual Oxford/Lafayette Community Field Day!! We are thrilled with the amount of community involvement and can’t wait to host another event in the future!!
Thank you to everyone who made the 2019 Bourbon Festival and Auction a success! It was a weekend full of food, music, bourbon, dancing, and fundraising. With the help from our donors, sponsors and attendees, Move On Up was able to raise over $140,000! With this money, Move On Up will be able to continue our mission to fund educational youth initiatives focused on health, well being and physical activity. A special thanks to our sponsors: Ben E Keith, Bulleit Bourbon, Cathead Distillery, Visit Oxford, Garden & Gun, First National Bank of Oxford, Red Truck Rural Bakery, and The Splinter Group. We can’t wait for next year!
