In an effort to help non-profits nation-wide raise funds to support their mission, Buffalo Trace Distillery bottled 400 bottles from the Six Millionth Barrel. Kentucky CancerLink was a recipient of one of the bottles and is part of this unique opportunity! Our fundraising goal is $1000, which will help 40 cancer patients get to their treatment, provide 10 lymphedema garments, or provide 10 wigs to cancer patients. We hope that you consider helping us toward our goal!
