Give 270 is proud to contribute $15,000 to United Way of Central Kentucky. The donation will help fund mini-grants that provide funding for community projects and initiatives that fall outside traditional grants to provide vital resources to strengthen the community and support neighbors in need across our region.
In just a few short weeks, on December 13th, we will remember and honor those laid to rest at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central in Radcliff, KY with the laying of nearly 9,000 wreaths.
Sponsorships are still needed for the final thousand or so wreaths. Each costs $17 and can be purchased by visiting the link here: https://bit.ly/3KgIPub

When communities face hardship, Kentuckians show up and that’s exactly what happened following recent storms across the region. Following Whiskey Wednesdays Round 15, generosity was on full display as Give 270 raised funds to support storm recovery efforts in three areas: Elizabethtown, Somerset, and London.
Thanks to an incredible turnout, the final week of the round raised $4,500, which was divided among the three communities to aid local recovery and rebuilding initiatives. From repairing damage to supporting families in need, these funds will help neighbors get back on their feet.
As a result of our recent Safe & Sound Raffle, Give 270 is proud to announce that proceeds amounting to $7,658 will go to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Since 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. They are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to Never Forget September 11, 2001.
Give 270 recently presented $1,593 to United Way of Central Kentucky as the result of the Bourbon & Blades raffle. Bourbon & Blades was presneted in partnership with Buck Knives and Red Hill Cutlery in celebration of this year’s Bourbon & Blades event.
United Way of Central Kentucky works to provide resources and support across a 5-county region to fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our region.
Give 270 recently presented $3,000 in proceeds from BR-009 to Bourbon With Heart, an organization dedicated to turning passion into purpose by supporting meaningful charitable causes and making a real difference in the community. Known for combining the love of bourbon with art and giving back, Bourbon With Heart has become a driving force for positive change, and Give 270 is honored to support their work.
From the proceeds, $500 will be used to recognize Tim O’Connell, the artist who received the most votes for his barrel head. An additional $500 will be directed to the non-profit of his choice: Brave Hearts: Supporting Norton Children’s Heart Institute. Brave Hearts is a network that connects families of children with congenital heart defects and provides resources to support their heart journeys.
Give 270 was proud to present a $1,520 donation to The Stephen Foster Story, Kentucky’s longest-running outdoor musical, as part of our Whiskey Wednesdays Round 15 giving. This contribution reflects the generosity of participants during just one week of our weekly bourbon raffle fundraiser.
The funds will help support the continued production of this iconic Bardstown tradition, which celebrates the music and legacy of America’s first great composer, Stephen Foster. For decades, the show has brought history to life and supported local artists, tourism, and culture.
Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and supported a cause that keeps Kentucky’s rich performing arts heritage alive and thriving!
Give 270 was honored to be present as the female honorees of the “On Watch” raffle were recognized for their outstanding service to the community. Both recipients—Sgt. Andrea Haire and Lt. Maddison Kuklinski—serve with the Elizabethtown Police Department, and were nominated by community members who wanted to show their appreciation for these remarkable officers.
Each was awarded a Thin Blue Line Citizen watch during a special presentation, and it was a privilege to witness their well-deserved recognition in person.
We’re grateful for the continued dedication of Sgt. Haire, Lt. Kuklinski, and all of Elizabethtown’s first responders. Thank you for keeping our community safe—and thank you to everyone who supported the “On Watch” raffle to help us give back in a meaningful way.
