Donations from world class vendors will be auctioned off to raise funds annually. The funds will be dispersed to students and interns by an independent Advisory Committee composed of academics, distillers and scientists. The third annual online charity auction will run February 15 to April 16th, 2021. The goal of this endowment is to grow the body of knowledge of craft distilling.
