    BR-007 Raffle Raises $5,000 for CASA of Lexington

    Give 270’s BR-007 Bourbon Raffle raised $5,000 for CASA of Lexington! This round featured two standout items: a 2024 Kentucky Derby edition Woodford Reserve Baccarat bottle and a halter worn by Mystik Dan, the winner of last year’s Kentucky Derby.

    Proceeds from the raffle directly benefited CASA of Lexington, an organization that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children in the family court system. Their work helps ensure children who’ve experienced abuse or neglect have a voice during some of the most critical times in their lives.

    By raffling off rare and meaningful items — like the Baccarat bottle celebrating Derby tradition and the halter worn by a champion — we were able to pair Kentucky pride with a cause that truly makes a difference.Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and helped us support this mission. Together, we’re proving that bourbon can do more than raise a glass — it can raise hope.
