Proceeds will support United Way of Central Kentucky’s work across Hardin, Breckinridge, Grayson, LaRue and Meade counties. The organization invests in education, financial stability and basic needs.
“Whiskey Wednesdays Round 20 features some incredible bourbon and cash prizes, but every ticket purchased also benefits United Way of Central Kentucky and the extensive impact they have on the community,” said Eric Clemens, board chair of Give 270. “We’re excited to celebrate this milestone round with the incredible community of supporters we’ve been fortunate to build over the years and look forward to another successful round of giving.”
Kentucky remains the heart of the American whiskey industry, producing roughly 95% of the world’s bourbon supply. Many of the brands featured in the raffle, including E.H. Taylor, Blanton’s, Eagle Rare and Weller, are produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.
