At Give 270, every raffle ticket sold is more than just a shot at winning—it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact. And during a recent round of our weekly raffle, that impact was felt right here at home as we proudly raised $3,345 for the Shelby County Stars, a local branch of Special Olympics Kentucky.
The Shelby County Stars are a team of exceptional athletes who embody the true spirit of sportsmanship, determination, and joy. Through Special Olympics, they have opportunities not only to compete, but to build friendships, gain confidence, and be celebrated for their abilities.
Thanks to your generosity and participation, Give 270 was able to support these inspiring individuals and their mission of inclusion and empowerment through sport.
This $3,345 donation is more than a number—it represents hours of practice, proud moments on the podium, and the smiles of athletes doing what they love with the people who believe in them.
We’re honored to support the Shelby County Stars and proud of the community that made it happen. Whether you bought a ticket, spread the word, or simply cheered us on, you were part of this win.
Stay connected with Give 270 for more chances to give back and uplift the amazing organizations that make Kentucky shine brighter every day.

At Give 270, we’re all about making a difference in our community—and sometimes, that means going a little bigger for a cause close to our hearts. During one special week of Round 15 of our popular weekly raffle, we dedicated proceeds to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Ohio River Valley. Thanks to your generosity and participation, we were able to contribute a grand total of $2,500 to this vital organization.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has long been a champion in the fight against blood cancers. Through groundbreaking research, patient support, and advocacy, LLS is changing lives and offering hope to millions. We were proud to align with their mission and be a small part of their incredible work.
Why It Matters:
To everyone who participated: thank you. Your ticket helped us go beyond the raffle and into real impact.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to give back with Give 270—where fun and philanthropy go hand in hand.

Give 270 proudly presented a $3,650 donation to the Elizabethtown Rotary Club, raised during Round 14 of the Whiskey Wednesdays raffle series. These funds will go directly to the club’s scholarship program, supporting students in the Elizabethtown area as they pursue higher education.
Each year, the Elizabethtown Rotary Club awards scholarships to deserving local students—helping remove financial barriers to college and post-secondary opportunities.

Whiskey Wednesday Round 15 is off to a powerful start, and we’re thrilled to share that April 16th Whiskey Wednesday raised $3,136.30 for the Elizabethtown Community & Technical College (ECTC) Foundation!
Each round of Whiskey Wednesday brings together our generous community for a chance to win top-notch bottles of bourbon—and more importantly, to give back to causes making a real impact right here at home. This week was no exception.
The ECTC Foundation plays a vital role in improving lives across our region by supporting students, faculty, and strategic college initiatives. Through scholarships, program development, and emergency student assistance, the foundation ensures that more people have access to education, training, and the tools they need to succeed.
As their mission states: “Better Lives for a Better Community.” And thanks to our Whiskey Wednesday supporters, over $3,100 will go toward making that mission a reality.
