Speaker 1: doing for the American veteran. Hey, how's it going man?
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, third third one, It's it's getting to
Speaker 3: be a big event for us, for sure.
Speaker 1: It sure is. Well. Start off by reminding my listeners
Speaker 1: what the the Raffle ticket is going to get them
Speaker 1: in terms of assistance the American veteran.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So basically this is a fundraiser I got involved
Speaker 3: with with Shay. You know, I met him through real
Speaker 3: estate and he was I think he's on his fifth
Speaker 3: year for Concert for Cause and he's just a big
Speaker 3: supporter of vets and bruise for a long time and
Speaker 3: asked if I wanted to get involved with this. So
Speaker 3: we put together a bourbon raffle to raise funds so
Speaker 3: I could purchase VIP tables for veterans at his concert.
Speaker 1: So we bring him in, they.
Speaker 3: Get to bring a guest, they get to see an
Speaker 3: awesome concert that helps out a great cause. And I,
Speaker 3: you know, do what I do, and I buy their
Speaker 3: beers all day or all night at the concert. And
Speaker 3: then you know, whatever proceeds are left over from the
Speaker 3: bourbon raffle, we just split up between concert for a
Speaker 3: cause and vets and bruise. And last year we were
Speaker 3: on top of getting the vets at the tables and
Speaker 3: having a great night. We were able to write a
Speaker 3: check to concert for a cost for twenty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was a great, great event. Man, that is fantastic.
Speaker 1: How many years have you been doing how many years
Speaker 1: you been doing the concert for the Cauche.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is our fifth annual, our fifth annual concert
Speaker 4: for our calls, and it's grown each year and stuff.
Speaker 4: We keep everything local. We've rotated charities each year and stuff.
Speaker 4: This year we're hosting to that threat Board, which is
Speaker 4: a great venue there in Blue ash especially for music
Speaker 4: and food and everything and some great beers. And this year,
Speaker 4: all proceeds. One hundred percent of proceeds go to Inclusive
Speaker 4: Housing Resources. They're based out of Fairfield and what they
Speaker 4: do is they manage and develop safe and affordable housing
Speaker 4: for disabled people and families in Hamilton, Butler and Claremont counties. Wow,
Speaker 4: we're pretty excited to be teaming with them and partnering
Speaker 4: with them.
Speaker 1: I bet that's an inspiring cause and organization right there.
Speaker 1: I understand last year you guys put together fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and donated to a local family that had an
Speaker 1: eighth grader that was going through chemotherapy.
Speaker 4: We did, we did, and you know, Bets and Bruis
Speaker 4: Matt's a big part of that. All State Insurance, Steve
Speaker 4: Miller and his team and Jennifer Kellum and Absolute Title
Speaker 4: down in Fairfield, you know, plus a lot of volunteers.
Speaker 4: Union Savings Bank is a part of it. We got
Speaker 4: volunteers that come together. But yes, we we raised fifteen
Speaker 4: thousand dollars and we just seen on Facebook, which you know,
Speaker 4: that's great for social media to be able to stay
Speaker 4: in contact that Darcy she kicked cancer's butt and rang
Speaker 4: the bell a few weeks ago. So we're pretty excited
Speaker 4: for her.
Speaker 1: Oh that is so wonderful. Well, my listeners, I want
Speaker 1: to let you know right now, because people are going
Speaker 1: to buy these tickets up, I'm going to start talking
Speaker 1: about some of the bourbons and the Bourbon Raffle. Here
Speaker 1: just a second, we'll get back to the concert for
Speaker 1: a cause. Go to my blog page fifty five carca
Speaker 1: dot com. You'll see the list of bourbons that are
Speaker 1: available for the for the Raffle, and then there's a
Speaker 1: link to buy tickets. Now, I just say that out
Speaker 1: loud because Matt I tried to go directly to vetsenbrwis
Speaker 1: dot com, and at least on my website it wasn't working.
Speaker 1: But the link, the longer link that takes you directly
Speaker 1: to the Bourbon Raffle works like a charm. So it's
Speaker 1: easy to get a ticket right there. Now, how much
Speaker 1: your tickets, Matt?
Speaker 3: They're twenty five bucks apiece, so and that that gives
Speaker 3: you the opportunity to win one of those bottles. So
Speaker 3: basically what we do is we will have a default
Speaker 3: list of you know what we think the best bottle
Speaker 3: to the least best bottle is. But here in a
Speaker 3: probably three or four days before the raffle, we'll send
Speaker 3: an email out to everyone who's bought a ticket and
Speaker 3: if if you want to pick the default list, you can.
Speaker 3: If you want certain bottles, you can list them however
Speaker 3: you want and we'll just go down your list. If
Speaker 3: your number gets called, whatever your highest ranking bourbon is,
Speaker 3: that's the one you're going to win.
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding. So it's like putting them in a
Speaker 1: basket at at a at A at a silent auction
Speaker 1: that you know I I've been to. Everybody's been to
Speaker 1: a million of those. So you can put like ten
Speaker 1: tickets in the one item that you want to win, right.
Speaker 3: Well, the for the online raffle, you'll just have the list.
Speaker 3: So if the first person picks a bottle of bourbon
Speaker 3: and then you win number two, we're gonna see.
Speaker 1: If your your yours is available.
Speaker 3: But at the live raffle, that's exactly what we're gonna
Speaker 3: be doing. We're gonna do a live raffle with fret
Speaker 3: Board next Saturday on the eighth from three to five pm,
Speaker 3: and we'll have seven additional bottles there and that's how
Speaker 3: we're gonna work it. We're just gonna put baskets in
Speaker 3: front of it, each bottle of bourbon, and you get
Speaker 3: a If you bought a ticket online, we're gonna give
Speaker 3: you seven tickets. You can put them in one basket,
Speaker 3: in each or you want them all in one if
Speaker 3: you've got a certain bottle you like, and we'll just
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we'll just start pulling
Speaker 3: tickets out of there and give those bottles away as well.
Speaker 3: So you can win online, you can win in person,
Speaker 3: a lot of opportunity to get some really good bottles
Speaker 3: of bourbon for.
Speaker 1: You know, a very cheap ticket, honestly, very cheap ticket
Speaker 1: and an unbelievably worthy cause. So every little it helps.
Speaker 1: And you put five hundred tickets together at twenty five
Speaker 1: bucks a pop, you've got a nice contribution for the
Speaker 1: charities and the veterans. Let's pause. I want to bring
Speaker 1: you both back to get a little bit more detail
Speaker 1: about this. Separate events a fretboard brewing event on the eighth,

Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll go through one at a time and just
Speaker 3: go down the list until they're all gone. And once
Speaker 3: once the online are all gone, we're going to start
Speaker 3: pulling the the in person, the seven bottles for the
Speaker 3: in person. And because we did it last year, we
Speaker 3: had no one that won online came to the in person, okay,
Speaker 3: and we were like, well, we want to make sure
Speaker 3: that people that show up end up walking out of
Speaker 3: here with some bourbon. So we set aside seven of
Speaker 3: the bottles that we collected over the last year, which
Speaker 3: are really good bottles, and yeah, we're going to make
Speaker 3: sure that at least seven people are walking out with
Speaker 3: some really nice bottles of bourbon this time.
Speaker 1: All right, And this works out to people who buy
Speaker 1: online as well, because everyone, if you buy a ticket
Speaker 1: online and you show up at the event on the
Speaker 1: eighth at Fretboard, you're going to get seven tickets to
Speaker 1: put in those little individual baskets of seven individual baskets.
Speaker 1: So let's say you want to win the four Roses basket,
Speaker 1: throw all of your tickets into that one, right and
Speaker 1: or spread them around the entire group there, and everybody
Speaker 1: who shows up is going to get a free ticket
Speaker 1: for the raffle, and it's open to the public. So
Speaker 1: if you don't want to participate in the online raffle,
Speaker 1: you still have an option to show up and maybe
Speaker 1: buy a veteran of beer. And I wanted to tell
Speaker 1: remind people that when you go out and about these
Speaker 1: various microbreweries, Matt has established a relationship with quite a
Speaker 1: few of them. And you have one of those Patriot
Speaker 1: Landing flag boxes that they've turned into a donation, So
Speaker 1: you put ten bucks in that box and they will
Speaker 1: end up getting the veteran and a beer and the
Speaker 1: donation of Patriots Landing, and that happened. I bring that
Speaker 1: up most importantly because next Wednesday's my listener lunch and
Speaker 1: we're having it at March First Brewery on East Kemper,
Speaker 1: and they have a donation box there.
Speaker 3: I'm told, yeah, they have one in there at the
Speaker 3: Cincinnati location in downtown, but I'm planning on I'm planning
Speaker 3: on showing up for the listener lunch, so I'll have
Speaker 3: some donations on hand, so if there's any veterans there,
Speaker 3: I'll make sure that they get the first round on bets.
Speaker 1: And Bruce fantastic, all right. And every time you buy
Speaker 1: a beer at the Bourbon Barrel Raffle Live Drawing, you
Speaker 1: get a ticket as well.

Speaker 3: been on the air.
Speaker 1: This is amazing. See listen, you get a good cause
Speaker 1: like this together and they're gonna buy a ticket. It
Speaker 1: is probably more because they want to support your cause
Speaker 1: than because they want a bottle of bourbon. Although you've
Speaker 1: got some damn good bourbons on the list. So I've
Speaker 1: become a bourbon fan over the years just because I've
Speaker 1: encountered some of these bourbon raffles. It's like, you know,
