Representatives from the Alpha Omega Sigma chapter of Phi Beta Sigma were awarded a Whiskey Wednesday’s proceeds check for $10,000. The fraternity chapter will use the funds for high school and collegiate scholarship recipients.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s Education program emphasizes academic achievement as a key ingredient for success. It offers services like scholarships, mentoring, and tutoring to alumni and collegiate members of the Fraternity. The scholarship component helps ease the cost of education at the high school and college levels, with local chapters raising funds to award scholarships to students. Alumni Chapters offer funding to high school seniors and college students, while Collegiate Chapters focus on middle and high school students. 

Katie French, president of the Central Hardin FFA Alumni, stopped by to pick up the organization’s proceeds check from the Round 10 Whiskey Wednesdays Bourbon Raffle benefiting area scholarships. The $10,000 check will be awarded to senior scholarship recipients as well as off setting event costs for FFA events during the students’ time in high school.

Congratulations Central Hardin FFA Alumni and thank you to everyone who supported Round 10 of Whiskey Wednesdays!

Fred Noe from Jim Beam joined us for the April 17 Give 270 Whiskey Wednesday’s drawing. We had a great time hearing stories about the first question asked when the Jim Beam lab finds a 40 proof bottle and the marketing behind the “Little Book” moniker.

We also had him draw three winners for John O’s Liquor‘s FIRST ever first responder bottle with 100% of the proceeds going to Elizabethtown Fire Department, Ambulance Service & Police Department. Give 270 will also be matching John O’s donation to our first responders!!

Check out the video below and skip to 21:30. The stories are great, so check it out.

Give 270 teamed up with Bourbon for HeART to sponsor artist Morgan Ruth, one of the featured 21 hand-painted bourbon bottles and ballet pointe shoes for the “Bourbon, Ballet & Benz” exhibit showcasing the talents of local artists.   

The purpose of this exhibit is to support the mission of Bourbon with HeART and to raise funds for Louisville Ballet’s Ballet Bound Program, which provides free classical ballet training to aspiring young dancers from Greater Louisville.  

This exhibit is proudly presented by Bourbon with HeART, the world’s first and only art bourbon charity! Bourbon with HeART, a Kentucky 501(c)(3) organization, is dedicated to leveraging the influence and popularity of bourbon to enhance awareness of Kentucky’s art community, ensure greater access to first-class arts experiences for all Kentuckians—regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability—and to raise funds for other non-profits.  

Prizes include six-bottle ‘Pappy’ set, eight-bottle Weller set and much more
