history and traditions of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These ideals are
promoted through numerous social, educational, and charitable functions each
year.
The Society sponsors such events as the Bluegrass Ball in celebration of
the quadrennial Presidential Inauguration, the
Cherry Blossom Ball and a
Pre-Kentucky Derby Party. We also host lecture series and receptions that

Society are focused on raising money to support various Kentucky charities.
The Society recognizes the important contributions of nationally prominent Kentuckians through the biennial presentation of the Henry Clay Distinguished Kentuckian Award. Proceeds from the Clay Award Dinner fund scholarships for outstanding Kentucky college students as summer interns in Washington in one of the three branches of the federal government.
The Kentucky Society of Washington continues to strive for the progress and betterment of Kentuckians everywhere.
