In addition to hosting the May 25 raffle, Give 270 also regularly hosts Whiskey Wednesdays Bourbon Raffles, giving participants a chance to win rare and valuable bottles of whiskey at an affordable price point while helping the region. Through bourbon raffles, Give 270 has raised money for a variety of organizations and causes such as the Radcliff Rotary Club, TLC Foster Care & Adoption/Home of the Innocents, the Huntington’s Disease Society of America’s Kentucky Chapter, tornado relief in Western Kentucky and more.
