Bourbon Backer

Will You Become a Bourbon Backer to Help Support our 2026 The Bourbon Event?

All proceeds benefit our friends and neighbors in need.

We’re proud to share that our first-ever The Bourbon Event in June raised over $50,000—and we’re already planning for an even bigger 2026 event! This one-of-a-kind fundraiser features a lineup of rare, exclusive, and hard-to-find bourbons that we spend months tracking down—and that’s where you come in!

Become a Bourbon Backer by helping in one (or more!) of the three ways listed below. 

3 Ways You Can Help

  1. Donate a bottle of bourbon, especially one from our list! If you have one to give, please email jsmyser@uwlc.org for drop-off times.
     
  2. Join our spirited crew of bourbon "hunters" or "stand in liners!" If you have a knack for tracking down hard-to-acquire bottles and/or are willing to stand in line to get your hands on one (or more!) for us, please let us know! Email jsmyser@uwlc.org.
     
  3. Want to help, but don't want to stand in line for those hard-to-get bottles? Donate here or click the orange button below, and we will purchase one on your behalf!
