CAF Offering Fans Chance to Win Limited Edition Maker’s Mark Bourbon Collection
October 23, 2023 | General
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Cardinal Athletic Fund is offering its supporters the chance to win a one-of-a-kind bourbon collection from Maker's Mark.
By making a donation of at least $100 to The Cardinal Trust, supporters are entered to win 100 custom Maker's Mark bourbon bottles – curated from a custom barrel of "Private Select" bourbon – created exclusively to support the University of Louisville's student-athletes.
The funds raised through this initiative will directly support the University of Louisville's student-athletes' summer programming and help offset the costs of summer tuition, room and board, and meal plans.
The founders of Maker's Mark, Bill Samuels Sr. and Margie Samuels, were proud graduates of the University of Louisville. Now under the direction of Rob Samuels, eighth generation whisky maker and grandson of the founders, Maker's Mark is proud to continue their legacy by supporting current students through this partnership with the Cardinal Athletic Fund.
Ten secondary winners will receive a special UofL gear package which includes one specialty Maker's Mark bottle signed by Rob Samuels.
This limited-time opportunity is online-only and is only offered by donating through the following link: www.cardinalathleticfund.com/makersmark
The initiative will close when there are 2,000 donations of $100 or when the deadline of 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 20 is reached.
You must be 21 or older to enter, and all winnings must be picked up in person. You may designate someone to pick up your bourbon if you are a winner. Additional details can be found at the link above.
