Conquer the Hill is a 5K Run/Walk to honor Danny's leadership, bring us together to meet the needs of neighbors in our community and to move each other forward. If you knew Danny, you know how his life and love impacted you. Danny always told us, "we can do this together"!

We'll be adding to the Danny Carothers Housing Endowment through the Community Foundation of South Central Kentucky to benefit the housing programs of House on the Hill. Danny saw the need to help others conquer their hills, to get over and reach the other side. On April 18, 2026, we'll come together to help our neighbors conquer housing costs and become more of the people Danny knew we could be. His leadership and love impacts us all! We carry it with us into our future.
