Bourbon With Friends will be hosting a Bourbon Charity Ball at the Castle in Versailles, KY. April 23, 2022 to benefit Folds of Honor. The evening will include a 5 course dinner, dancing, drinks and live entertainment, as well as a silent auction. All net proceeds will benefit Folds of Honor: a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to families of fallen or disabled soldiers. We will be having a VIP tasting by Old Forester Master Blender Jackie Zykan. A speaker who is actually a recipient of Folds of Honor scholarships...and we are working on trying to finalize other local and potentially national celebrities to attend this event.
We have received donations from the Prince Estate, Rick Allen of Deaf Lepard, Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesely, Sam Heughan. Terry Bradshaw donated a barrel for a barrel pick to give to all VIP's and also raise funds with the additional bottle sales for Folds of Honor...as well as many other donations from local and national brands and businesses.
We wanted to make you all aware of the event in case you were looking to highlight any upcoming events or charitable organizations in upcoming stories.

We have been around for about 2 years and also recently became a 501(C)(3) organization as well to help us in our charitable efforts.
