The Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle has officially wrapped up, and we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to the Give 270 community. Thanks to all of you, we raised $21,770.05 for the Kentucky State Police Foundation—funding that will directly benefit KSP personnel, programs and initiatives.
This raffle wasn’t just about winning great bourbon—it was about giving back to the men and women who serve and protect our communities every day. The funds raised will go toward essential resources, training, and support programs that ensure KSP can continue their mission with the tools they need.
With 50 incredible bourbon prizes and 50 lucky winners, this was one of our most exciting raffles. Whether you walked away with a rare bottle or simply took part to support a great cause, your contribution made a real impact.
A sincere thank you to everyone who participated, shared and supported this effort. Your generosity strengthens the mission of the KSP Foundation, and we look forward to bringing more opportunities like this to the bourbon community in the future. Stay tuned for what’s next!

#FastReliefProject
As the holidays approach and you’re looking for a way to give back, consider helping out those who are struggling with food insecurity by supporting the Fast Relief Project.
The Fast Relief Project raises funds for Feeding America, Helping Hands of Hope and Warm Blessings to help them provide meals for families who would otherwise go without. Our challenge to you is to go without a meal, or two, and donate the money saved from those missed meals.
FAST RELIEF draws on the dual meanings of the word “FAST” – meaning both to go without food and also to quickly help those in need. Fasting helps you to experience what it feels like to face food insecurity and make a true sacrifice to help those in need. Our challenge to you is to go without a meal, or two, and donate the money saved from those missed meals. Donations for FAST-RELIEF will be accepted throughout December.
This year, the Elizabethtown Education Foundation (EEF) is partnering with local nonprofit Give 270 to provide an online crowdfunding campaign to help raise money for the district’s new multifunctional, retrofitted bus! The bus will serve multiple purposes and is only a short drive away. The possibilities for this new space are endless – a mobile tutoring location that takes services and resources to students year round, a new classroom space for teachers looking for a new setting, a spirit wagon for our next Panther Tailgate event, and a source of Panther Pride in the next local parade.
Help us customize the space with technology, awnings, and designs by making an online donation of any amount before April 1st. Our goal is $30,000!*
*Donations beyond the $30,000 will go to the EEF general fund to cover additional teacher-requested grants.
Through a donation to CodeForce, you can help local children learn valuable skills in game, app and web development while having a great time. Our mission is sustained through sponsorships and donations, and any amount invested into our organization will help fulfill our vision of youth engagement.
