Give 270 is proud to announce that $1,500 was raised for the Elizabethtown Police Foundation through the On Watch Raffle, held in June 2025. The raffle gave participants the chance to win a Citizen Thin Blue Line or Thin Red Line watch — with a unique twist: each winner also got to honor a deserving First Responder by gifting them a matching watch.
Thanks to the generous support of Clark Jewelers, who donated the prizes, and to everyone who purchased a $10 ticket, three winners were selected live on YouTube. One winner each was drawn for the Men’s Thin Blue Line Watch (Police Officer), the Women’s Thin Blue Line Watch (Female Police Officer), and the Men’s Thin Red Line Watch (Firefighter).
Proceeds from the raffle benefit the Elizabethtown Police Foundation, supporting programs that enhance the effectiveness and excellence of the Elizabethtown Police Department. Thank you to all who helped make this special tribute and fundraiser a success!

We at Give 270 have been known to give away some truly rare and sought-after bourbon prizes over the years, but the grand prize for our upcoming Bourbon Strong 50-4-50 raffle might just be the rarest yet. This time around, we’re giving away a bottle of Booker’s Single Barrel, a limited edition, one time release that has an incredible backstory.
“The Second Chance Batch,” a special 2022 release, is the first and only single barrel ever from Jim Beam Distillery’s Booker’s line. It honors DeeAnn Hogan, a Jim Beam plant coordinator who donated her kidney for Master Distiller Fred Noe’s transplant, as well as the University of Kentucky Transplant Center team led by Dr. Malay Shah. Donated by Jim Beam to benefit the center, the barrel came from Floor 4 of Warehouse D and was selected in May 2022 by Noe and Medicinal Whiskey Charity, tanked in August and bottled that October.
The bottle we are giving away is number 134 out of a limited edition of 175. It features a distinctive blue wax seal, comes in a commemorative wooden case, and is personally signed by Fred Noe, the great-grandson of bourbon legend Jim Beam and a leading figure behind brands such as Knob Creek, Basil Hayden, and Booker’s. The Second Chance Batch was never available for retail sale and was bottled exclusively for charitable purposes.
Plus, this sought-after grand prize is one of 50 total prizes that will be given away during the 50-4-50 raffle. The second and third grand prizes include a Little Book 10-bottle Vertical and a Booker’s 10 Year Anniversary bottle. In addition to the grand prizes, some of the other prizes given away during the raffle will include a Booker’s Rye, Booker’s 25th Anniversary bottle, Booker’s 30th Anniversary bottle, Little Book the Infinite: Edition 1 and more. During the raffle, prizes four through 50 will be drawn, and each of those winning tickets will be returned to the drawing tumbler for the drawing of the three grand prizes.
Be sure to purchase your tickets today before they run out, and join us live on our Facebook page or YouTube channel on Wednesday, July 2 at 8 p.m. as we give away some amazing prizes. All proceeds support our friends at United Way of Central Kentucky and their Mini Grants Program, which provides immediate assistance for impactful projects and initiatives in the region, such as Helping Hand of Hope’s Affordable Christmas program, the 21st Century Program at New Highland Elementary School, playground equipment at LaRue County Schools, the Headstart Garden through Breckinridge-Grayson Programs, Inc. and many others.
See you on the livestream!
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.
