Our vision is to grow our fundraising model to every major city across North America and develop a socially conscious way for society to give back to their local communities by leveraging whisky as the common thread. Our hopes are high that we can empower the next generation of change-makers through these unique philanthropic activities but still create a fun, enjoyable atmosphere to connect and collaborate with your peers.
