The story behind the raffle:

Nathan Perdue is on a mission to prolong his three-year-old son’s life, with the help of his personal Bourbon collection and the Kentucky Derby Museum. Perdue’s son, Wyatt, is living with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.

In 2021, Nathan approached the Kentucky Derby Museum with the idea of raffling off part of his prized Pappy Van Winkle collection, in hopes that teaming up would bring more awareness and funding to beat this devastating disease. By combining forces, Nathan and the Kentucky Derby Museum were able to raise $400,000. Since the collaboration, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has prolonged the life expectancy of people living with CF from 51 to 53 years, through research that was funded by the raffle. “Everyone that participated in that fundraising initiative last year was indirectly responsible for that amazing accomplishment," said Perdue. "So this year we thought, how do we celebrate not only that great accomplishment, but how do we raise even more funds and more awareness?”

This year, Nathan secured additional premium, rare Bourbons, in order to do just that.

The Perdue family’s ultimate hope is that funds raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will help find a cure during Wyatt’s lifetime.

Your $100 raffle ticket purchase is helping fund research that will prolong the lives of those living with CF.
