One lucky winner will receive a prize package that includes:
Kentucky Derby Museum is hosting a raffle for a collection of five bottles of limited-edition Pappy Van Winkle bourbon. Raffle proceeds will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its mission to find a cure for CF, a genetic disease which causes persistent lung infections, and limits the ability to breathe over time. A small portion of the raffle's proceeds will support the education department at the Kentucky Derby Museum.
The entire collection could be yours by purchasing a $100 raffle ticket. Only 4,000 tickets will be sold and there is no cap on how many tickets may be purchased by an individual.
Help Kentucky Derby Museum make CF stand for CURE FOUND and not Cystic Fibrosis.
The raffle will run from August 13th until September 23, 2021. A winner will be drawn LIVE on September 24 on the Museum's Facebook page.
Due to Kentucky state law, bottles cannot be shipped and must be picked up at Kentucky Derby Museum.
An Indiana father is on a mission to prolong his two-year-old son’s life, with the help of his five-bottle collection of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon, and the Kentucky Derby Museum. Nathan Perdue is a bourbon collector and connoisseur, who happens to have quite the Pappy Van Winkle lineup in his personal collection. He also happens to be the father of a two-year-old boy, Wyatt Perdue, who is living with cystic fibrosis. Nathan approached the Kentucky Derby Museum with the idea of raffling off his prized Pappy collection, in hopes that teaming up would bring more awareness and funding to beating this devastating disease. The Perdue family’s ultimate hope is that funds raised for the CF foundation will help find a cure for cystic fibrosis in Wyatt’s lifetime so that he and so many others can overcome CF.
What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is about 40. This is remarkable progress, but not good enough.
Wyatt Perdue was 10 days old when his parents Nathan and Anne received the devastating phone call that their brand-new baby boy had cystic fibrosis. Like others living with the disease, Wyatt’s daily routine includes rounds of medication and hours of treatments to help keep his airways clear. Wyatt is an energetic and inquisitive 2-year-old boy who loves playing with his older brother.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a nonprofit, donor-supported organization. It is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for CF. The Foundation funds lifesaving research and works to provide access to quality, specialized care and effective treatments for people with CF. Nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support.
