A Carmel, Indiana father is on a mission to prolong his 2-year-old son's life, with the help of his personal 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. He also happens to be the father of a 2-year-old boy, Wyatt Perdue, who is living with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.
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.
One lucky winner will receive a prize package that includes:
- Five bottle limited-edition collection of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon, valued at $18,250 by Justin's House of Bourbon
- VIP Kentucky Derby Museum experience for winner and up to three guests
- One-night stay at Hotel Distil for winner
