The mission of Barrels for Hope Whiskey Club is to create a community of positive, loving, charitable people who are as passionate about bourbon as they are about helping others with the expectation of nothing in return. Profits from the barrels selected are donated to support four charitable organizations that focus on children, military, cancer, and mental health.

Trent was an accomplished student and athlete, playing as a walk-on offensive lineman at the University of Kentucky. Trent’s parents started the foundation to keep Trent’s memory alive and give back to their community through scholarships for 3 high schools in Oldham County and at the University of Kentucky.
