FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Durham, NC – August 30, 2024 – Lonerider Spirits is excited to announce the success of its partnership with North Carolina Ducks Unlimited (NCDU), which saw the donation of 150 bottles of its Field of Drams wheated bourbon. These exclusive, hand labeled bottles were raffled off at 75 local events statewide throughout 2023-2024, raising over $69,000 to support Ducks Unlimited’s conservation mission.
The funds raised through this initiative will directly impact the conservation of 276 acres of North American wetlands. Ducks Unlimited publicizes that for every $250 raised, one acre of wetlands is conserved, making this contribution a significant boost to the organization’s efforts in FY24 (July 2023-June 2024).
The winners of each event raffle were then entered into a grand draw at the annual North Carolina Ducks Unlimited banquet held in Raleigh, NC, for a chance to win all of the Ducks Unlimited guns of the year.
“Field of Drams represents our commitment to quality and innovation, and as a long time member of Ducks Unlimited, we are thrilled that it has also contributed to such a meaningful cause that has given back to me time after time,” said Levin Woodall, Sales Director at Lonerider Spirits. “We are honored to support the conservation of North American wetlands and are proud to see the impact of our partnership with North Carolina Ducks Unlimited.”
FY24 marked a historic year for Ducks Unlimited, as the organization delivered 1 million acres of conservation within a 12-month period for the first time in its history, bringing its total acreage count to over 18 million. North Carolina Ducks Unlimited also achieved a record year, raising over $4.12 million through local events and other fundraising efforts. The Lonerider raffle was a key contributor to this unprecedented growth.
“Our partnership with Lonerider Spirits has played a crucial role in this year’s success,” said Tyler Hopper, the Director of Development from Ducks Unlimited NC. “The support from Lonerider Spirits has not only enhanced our conservation efforts but has also helped us achieve remarkable growth. We sincerely appreciate their commitment to conservation.”
