CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Aug. 9, 2017 – An exceptional evening of curated bourbons and whiskeys is coming this fall while supporting the local cancer community. The inaugural Bourbon for Booty will take place on Thursday, Sept. 14 at 7PM at Hart Witzen Gallery, 136 E. 36th Street, in Charlotte.

Created and hosted by 24 Foundation Founder, Spencer Lueders, Bourbon for Booty supports and celebrates the contemporary, new branding and refocused purpose of 24 Foundation – a Charlotte nonprofit with a mission to inspire and engage communities to make an immediate impact on the lives of people affected by cancer. 24 Foundation hosted its signature fundraiser – the 16th Annual 24 Hours of Booty charity non-competitive cycling and walking event – on July 28-29, 2017 in Charlotte, raising more than $1.7 million.

“Whether you are new to bourbons and whiskeys or an experienced collector, Bourbon for Booty is an exclusive, must-do event benefiting our local cancer community,” said Lueders. “We look forward to bringing folks together for a fun evening with fine spirits and great food, while supporting an important cause.”

As part of the tasting, guests will also enjoy light food pairings and palate cleansers prepared by renowned local chef, Craig Barbour. The first 100 registrants will receive a custom tasting glass, and all guests will receive a notebook and education about each spirit before individual pours and sampling guidance.

Tickets are $100 and spots are limited to just 200 guests. Wingman tickets (for non-drinking companion; must be purchased with other tickets) are available for $60.
