    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.

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.
