Founded in 1882 by Colonel Amos Shinkle, CHNK originally served the community as an orphanage for children who were homeless or orphaned. In the 1980s, we shifted our focus to abused, neglected, and at-risk children and their families. Much like our founder, who also financed the building of the Ohio River’s landmark Suspension Bridge, we build bridges – to better futures – for the children in our care.

Join us on Sunday, August 11 at the Drees Pavilion in Covington, KY as we recognize and celebrate the Shinkle Society Class of 2013! Individual tickets to the Shinkle Society Gala are available for $100.00 each and can be purchased online or by calling the CHNK Development Office at 859.261.8768.
