Sip, Socialize, Support: 2025 Dunwoody Rotary Whiskey Raffle!

Thanks to your generosity, our 2024 raffle sold all 400 tickets and raised $10,000 for community projects. This year, we’re aiming even higher—$25,000—and we need your help to make it happen.

How You Can Help

  • Build Our Prize Pool by October 7. We want to lock in at least six collections of 20 premium bottles by the first week of October. Headliners like Pappy Van Winkle drove last year’s sell-out of 400 tickets—let’s top that!
  • Hosted Tastings in the Weeks before the Raffle. Our secret to doubling last year’s result? Progressive whiskey tastings across Dunwoody. They’ll be free or low-cost for guests, so we can pitch raffle tickets at the end. This is our way to help drive ticket sales outside of our membership. We need to have our prize pool well-established before we have these tastings!
  • Spread the Word and Find Some Whiskey! Ticket price and quantity will be set once our prize pool is confirmed. Encourage friends, neighbors, co-workers—whiskey fans love to brag about their collections… so they should be easy to find!

How to Get Involved

  • Donate Bottles! Early success here is the most important part! Ask early; ask often. if you have questions, contact Dave Burr or Neal MacDonald! We’ll happily collect, sort, and vet. And yes! We will accept liquor that isn’t whiskey!
  • Volunteer: we’re happy to accept ideas, help, as well as bottles! Spread the word! Encourage friends, family, and colleagues—whiskey enthusiasts are never hard to find (they brag).
  • Every ticket sold brings us closer to our $25,000 goal. And whiskey might just be a great way to introduce people to Rotary.

Save the Date

Thirsty Thursday, November 20! We’re targeting that last Thursday before Thanksgiving for the main event itself.
