ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. – Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270 is set to host a bourbon raffle featuring several limited and allocated prizes to benefit Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland (FAKH). The Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle will feature a total of 50 prizes, including three grand prizes: a six-bottle “Pappy” Vertical, a five-bottle Buffalo Trace Antique Collection set and a six-bottle Weller set. Tickets are now on sale for the raffle, which is set to take place Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Other featured prizes include a Daniel Weller 1794 Emmer Wheat Recipe, a 2012 Eagle Rare 17, Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 year, Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot “B” 12 year, Weller C.Y.P.B., Elmer T.

All proceeds will benefit FAKH’s mission to gather and distribute food throughout their 42-county service region to feed neighbors through local community partnerships.

“Bourbon Strong is one of our favorite ways to bring bourbon enthusiasts together for a good cause,” said Eric Clemens, Board Chair for Give 270. “With incredible prizes up for grabs, every ticket purchased helps ensure Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland can continue the vital work of fighting hunger across our region.”
The Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle will take place live on Give 270’s YouTube channel on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. During the raffle, prizes four through 50 will be drawn, and each of those winning tickets will be returned to the drawing tumbler for the drawing of the three grand prizes.
Tickets are $50 and will be available for purchase until 7 p.m. on the day of the drawing. A total of 3,000 tickets are available for the raffle. There is no limit to the amount of tickets purchased per person, subject to availability.
