Our Bourbon Raffle
Sargeant’s Army Selected as One of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s “100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities”
We are proud to share that we have been selected as one of only 100 nonprofit organizations nationwide to receive a bourbon set through Buffalo Trace Distillery’s prestigious “100 Bourbon Sets for 100 Charities” initiative.
This national program, announced in honor of Bottled‑in‑Bond Day and inspired by the legacy of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., recognizes nonprofits that demonstrate a strong, measurable commitment to improving their communities. Buffalo Trace reviewed applications from organizations across the United States and selected just 100 whose missions reflect the same dedication to integrity, service, and public good that shaped the historic 1897 Bottled‑in‑Bond Act.
Being chosen places Sargeant’s Army among a diverse group of charities serving critical needs—from food and shelter programs to education, environmental work, animal welfare, cancer support, and veteran services. Our selection highlights the impact of our No Soldier Left Behind Project, which provides essential outerwear, hygiene items, and support to homeless veterans across all 50 states.
Partnership with Give270
We are proud to partner with Give270 for Bourbon Raffles Serial No. 011. Through this collaboration, Give270 manages and hosts the charitable gaming raffle, while Sargeant’s Army receives the proceeds to support our American Heroes Gala and the 2026 No Soldier Left Behind Project. Give270 brings years of experience in charitable raffles, crowdfunding, and community fundraising, having raised more than $1.8 million for nonprofit initiatives since 2016. Their platform allows supporters from across the country to participate safely and easily, helping amplify the impact of every ticket sold.
By partnering together, Give270 provides the raffle infrastructure, compliance, and prize distribution, while Sargeant’s Army directs the funds toward meaningful, hands‑on service ensuring that every dollar raised helps us continue spreading kindness and supporting America’s Heroes. This partnership strengthens our ability to reach more veterans, expand youth‑led service opportunities, and grow our No Soldier Left Behind Project.
