By Joseph Lyell —

The Louisville Cardinal has received gifts from two prominent Louisville donors: Congressman John Yarmuth and former U.S. Ambassador Matthew Barzun.

Chair of The Cardinal’s board of directors Jenni Laidman said the gifts will kick off a fundraising effort for the student paper, with the goal of raising $50,000 in the 2018-19 school year.

Yarmuth donated $10,000 in matching funds in response to the news that U of L could no longer support the publication.
