🌟 Honoring Service & Legacy 🌟

The Miss My Old Kentucky Home pageant, an official preliminary to the Miss Kentucky Scholarship Competition, celebrates scholarship, service, and community.

This year, the Community Service Action Award, in honor of Susan Meyer Moore, a passionate advocate for young people, philanthropy, and the Miss America Scholarship Program—was awarded to Ms. Audrey Centers.

Susan, a Type 1 diabetic, dedicated her life to fundraising and supporting Norton Children’s Hospital and community programs. To continue her legacy, her family proudly awards a $1,000 scholarship each year in her memory.

✨ Judge Jessica Moore, Susan’s daughter, presented the 2026 Community Service Action Award and $1,000 scholarship to Ms. Centers, who raised an incredible $2,261 in support of the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute.

We are grateful for Susan’s legacy and for Audrey’s generosity, which directly supports children and adults living with Type 1 diabetes. 💙

👨‍👩‍👧 Ages 2-45 with a parent, sibling, or child with T1D
👦👧 Ages 2-20 with an extended (second or third degree) family member (aunt, uncle, cousin, etc.) with T1D

A single blood sample could open the door to prevention trials and answers.

🏀💙 Today we had a special visitor at the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute, pediatric location — University of Louisville basketball player Spencer Legg!

As someone living with type 1 diabetes, Spencer is a true inspiration for young athletes. He toured the institute and spent time with our team, including Dr. Thrasher and Dr. Wintergerst, to learn more about the work we’re doing to help kids, teens and adults thrive with T1D.

Swipe to see a heartwarming moment from earlier this season, when Spencer invited some of our type 1 patients to a UofL game — giving them the chance to cheer on the Cards from the court!
