Morning Show Matt Damaris and Shay Hensley to talk about
the is it third annual Bourbon Barrel Raffle. It's going
on again and I know my listening audience is going
to help you sell all these tickets out. Good to
(01:29):
have you guys back on and I appreciate what you're
doing for the American veteran. Hey, how's it going man?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yes, that's right, third third one, It's it's getting to
be a big event for us, for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It sure is. Well. Start off by reminding my listeners
what the the Raffle ticket is going to get them
in terms of assistance the American veteran.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah. So basically this is a fundraiser I got involved
with with Shay. You know, I met him through real
estate and he was I think he's on his fifth
year for Concert for Cause and he's just a big
supporter of vets and bruise for a long time and
asked if I wanted to get involved with this. So
we put together a bourbon raffle to raise funds so
(02:11):
I could purchase VIP tables for veterans at his concert.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So we bring him in, they.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Get to bring a guest, they get to see an
awesome concert that helps out a great cause. And I,
you know, do what I do, and I buy their
beers all day or all night at the concert. And
then you know, whatever proceeds are left over from the
bourbon raffle, we just split up between concert for a
cause and vets and bruise. And last year we were
(02:40):
on top of getting the vets at the tables and
having a great night. We were able to write a
check to concert for a cost for twenty five hundred bucks.
It was.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It was a great, great event. Man, that is fantastic.
How many years have you been doing how many years
you been doing the concert for the Cauche.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, this is our fifth annual, our fifth annual concert
for our calls, and it's grown each year and stuff.
We keep everything local. We've rotated charities each year and stuff.
This year we're hosting to that threat Board, which is
a great venue there in Blue ash especially for music
(03:18):
and food and everything and some great beers. And this year,
all proceeds. One hundred percent of proceeds go to Inclusive
Housing Resources. They're based out of Fairfield and what they
do is they manage and develop safe and affordable housing
for disabled people and families in Hamilton, Butler and Claremont counties. Wow,
(03:45):
we're pretty excited to be teaming with them and partnering
with them.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I bet that's an inspiring cause and organization right there.
I understand last year you guys put together fifteen thousand
dollars and donated to a local family that had an
eighth grader that was going through chemotherapy.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
We did, we did, and you know, Bets and Bruis
Matt's a big part of that. All State Insurance, Steve
Miller and his team and Jennifer Kellum and Absolute Title
down in Fairfield, you know, plus a lot of volunteers.
Union Savings Bank is a part of it. We got
volunteers that come together. But yes, we we raised fifteen
(04:22):
thousand dollars and we just seen on Facebook, which you know,
that's great for social media to be able to stay
in contact that Darcy she kicked cancer's butt and rang
the bell a few weeks ago. So we're pretty excited
for her.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh that is so wonderful. Well, my listeners, I want
to let you know right now, because people are going
to buy these tickets up, I'm going to start talking
about some of the bourbons and the Bourbon Raffle. Here
just a second, we'll get back to the concert for
a cause. Go to my blog page fifty five carca
dot com. You'll see the list of bourbons that are
available for the for the Raffle, and then there's a
link to buy tickets. Now, I just say that out
(04:59):
loud because Matt I tried to go directly to vetsenbrwis
dot com, and at least on my website it wasn't working.
But the link, the longer link that takes you directly
to the Bourbon Raffle works like a charm. So it's
easy to get a ticket right there. Now, how much
your tickets, Matt?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
They're twenty five bucks apiece, so and that that gives
you the opportunity to win one of those bottles. So
basically what we do is we will have a default
list of you know what we think the best bottle
to the least best bottle is. But here in a
probably three or four days before the raffle, we'll send
an email out to everyone who's bought a ticket and
(05:37):
if if you want to pick the default list, you can.
If you want certain bottles, you can list them however
you want and we'll just go down your list. If
your number gets called, whatever your highest ranking bourbon is,
that's the one you're going to win.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh no kidding. So it's like putting them in a
basket at at a at A at a silent auction
that you know I I've been to. Everybody's been to
a million of those. So you can put like ten
tickets in the one item that you want to win, right.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Well, the for the online raffle, you'll just have the list.
So if the first person picks a bottle of bourbon
and then you win number two, we're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If your your yours is available.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But at the live raffle, that's exactly what we're gonna
be doing. We're gonna do a live raffle with fret
Board next Saturday on the eighth from three to five pm,
and we'll have seven additional bottles there and that's how
we're gonna work it. We're just gonna put baskets in
front of it, each bottle of bourbon, and you get
a If you bought a ticket online, we're gonna give
(06:35):
you seven tickets. You can put them in one basket,
in each or you want them all in one if
you've got a certain bottle you like, and we'll just
at the end of the day, we'll just start pulling
tickets out of there and give those bottles away as well.
So you can win online, you can win in person,
a lot of opportunity to get some really good bottles
of bourbon for.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, a very cheap ticket, honestly, very cheap ticket
and an unbelievably worthy cause. So every little it helps.
And you put five hundred tickets together at twenty five
bucks a pop, you've got a nice contribution for the
charities and the veterans. Let's pause. I want to bring
you both back to get a little bit more detail
about this. Separate events a fretboard brewing event on the eighth,
but then the concert for the cause is April twelfth,
(07:14):

Happy Friday, Ryan Thomas with Matt De Maris from Vets
and Bruce and Shay Hensley from Concert for a Cause.
Kind of teaming up this year to help wonderful causes.
Now Matt's Vets and Bruce. You give Matt ten bucks.
Seven bucks goes to buy a veteran of beer. Three
bucks goes to Patriots Landing, and he's put together a
ton of money for Patriots Landing for your well charitable
(08:46):
support of the American veter making sure they got a
nice cold beer in front of him. You'll be able
to do that at the live drawing at the Bourbon Barrel.
Live drawing, so go online to fifty five care Sea
dot com. Click the link that will get you to
the pagery. Buy your online raffle twenty bottles of bourbon
and they're all listed right there. You'll be having an
opportunity to win one of those with your online ticket.
(09:07):
We've already sold one of them at least Matt Chip,
thank you very much. He sent me a screenshot of
his purchase. So out the door they go. So the
the online burbo bottles. You're going to draw those tickets
at the Bourbon Barrel Raffle Live drawing at Fretboard in
Blue Ash on the eighth. Correct, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, we'll go through one at a time and just
go down the list until they're all gone. And once
once the online are all gone, we're going to start
pulling the the in person, the seven bottles for the
in person. And because we did it last year, we
had no one that won online came to the in person, okay,
and we were like, well, we want to make sure
(09:52):
that people that show up end up walking out of
here with some bourbon. So we set aside seven of
the bottles that we collected over the last year, which
are really good bottles, and yeah, we're going to make
sure that at least seven people are walking out with
some really nice bottles of bourbon this time.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
All right, And this works out to people who buy
online as well, because everyone, if you buy a ticket
online and you show up at the event on the
eighth at Fretboard, you're going to get seven tickets to
put in those little individual baskets of seven individual baskets.
So let's say you want to win the four Roses basket,
throw all of your tickets into that one, right and
(10:29):
or spread them around the entire group there, and everybody
who shows up is going to get a free ticket
for the raffle, and it's open to the public. So
if you don't want to participate in the online raffle,
you still have an option to show up and maybe
buy a veteran of beer. And I wanted to tell
remind people that when you go out and about these
various microbreweries, Matt has established a relationship with quite a
(10:50):
few of them. And you have one of those Patriot
Landing flag boxes that they've turned into a donation, So
you put ten bucks in that box and they will
end up getting the veteran and a beer and the
donation of Patriots Landing, and that happened. I bring that
up most importantly because next Wednesday's my listener lunch and
we're having it at March First Brewery on East Kemper,
and they have a donation box there.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm told, yeah, they have one in there at the
Cincinnati location in downtown, but I'm planning on I'm planning
on showing up for the listener lunch, so I'll have
some donations on hand, so if there's any veterans there,
I'll make sure that they get the first round on bets.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And Bruce fantastic, all right. And every time you buy
a beer at the Bourbon Barrel Raffle Live Drawing, you
get a ticket as well.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So yeah, we're trying to influence people to get tickets, man.
So we'll have every time you buy a beer, we'll
give you a ticket. You can drop it in any
of the baskets. And we're also going to have like
a prize wheel there, so ten dollars of spend you
get to spend that thing, you'll win anywhere from ten
to fifty tickets. So you all day long, man, you
can spend that thing as many times as you want
(11:57):
to try to up your chances to win one of those.
It's gonna be It's gonna be a good time.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Man, I'm sure it is. And proceeds for that go
to reserving two VIP vets and Bruce Veteran tables at
the Concert for a Cause, so and veterans. You can
register online to win a seat and you can bring
a guest if you win. So the remaining proceeds gets
split between Concerts for a Cause and of course Matt
Damaris's Vets for Brew charity now pivoting over to Shay
(12:22):
and the concert for a cause that's also at Fretboard Brewing,
but it's it on April twelfth, correct.

young lady that's been around southern country music for years
down in Nashville and stuff. She got her little band

the headliner.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Abes Lincoln. That's awesome, Abes Lincoln.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, these guys are great. Yeah, if you're into seventies, eighties,
nineties and even up up to now, just high energy dancing,
getting the crowd involved and stuff like. Yeah, it's a
great group of guys all right.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They're pretty cool too because they they play the video
for the song that they're singing right behind, so like
you're you're watching the original video, but you're hearing their
version of them singing. And I've been I've seen their
shows quite a few times. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
There it's very entertaining, all right, and it's open to
the public, and it's there's no don't there's no obligation
that donate at the door. But of course we're encouraging
a ten dollar donation at the door to buy veterans beers.
You have raffle baskets there as well, don't you.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yes, well we got raffle baskets fifty to fifty and stuff.
The donations at the door for that night will just
go to Inclusive Housing Resources and stuff. Matt will be
there for the veterans and stuff already with the tables
and stuff like that. All right, Yeah, we're just asking
for it. It's kind of it's open to the public.
(14:06):
Anybody welcome, you know, but there'll be other things, you know,
going on all throughout the night.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's great. So it's all for a great cause. Obviously
winning a bottle of bourbon to put a smile on
your face. And Chip, who just bought a ticket, he said,
don't mention I won wellers last year, So sorry, I
did mention it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I've already sold like twenty five bottles Man since we've
been on the air.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
This is amazing. See listen, you get a good cause
like this together and they're gonna buy a ticket. It
is probably more because they want to support your cause
than because they want a bottle of bourbon. Although you've
got some damn good bourbons on the list. So I've
become a bourbon fan over the years just because I've
encountered some of these bourbon raffles. It's like, you know,
it's pretty good stuff. So anyhow, I appreciate what you
(14:53):
guys are doing throughout the year. I hope you have
wildly successful events, and I want to thank my listening
audience for buying up these tickets. Apparently they're only four
hundred and nine left now and you started out this morning.
I think in the what four hundred and thirty one
so handful of tickets have been sold. They'll be gone
by the end of the day. Though, I hope guys
keep up the great work. You got an opportunity on
the Morning Show. Anytime you guys that have given an
(15:14):
event going on to spread the word, I'm happy to
do it because I know what great causes these are,
So celebrate and enjoy them and thank the American veteran.
At the same time, take care, guys, good luck with
the events.
