    Hi everyone,

    A close friend of mine and his family just lost his house to a fire. While his family was fortunate enough to make it out OK, all their belongings and several beloved family pets were lost.

    Donation link: https://www.gofundme.com/support-for-the-holmans

    Rules: For every $10 you donate to their GoFundMe page, you'll receive one entry into the drawing. Please leave BA followed by your username in the comment field on GoFundMe so I can track donations, and please post on this thread that you donated so I don't miss anyone. If anyone would like to contribute a box, that would be awesome. I'll draw the winners on Sunday, June 3rd.

    PRIZES:
    Box #1:
    Barrel-Aged Abraxas, 2018
    Coffee Abraxas, 2017
    Vanilla Abraxas, 2017
    Abraxas, 2017
    Prodigal, 2017

    I'm pretty new to the BA scene and just learned about these forums from a friend a few days ago. My buddy @MeLoynes has more non-IP trades under his belt than I do, and has agreed to help me with shipping to ensure the bottles arrive intact.

    This seems like an amazing community, and thank you in advance!

    Thank you all so much for your generosity! My buddy is very appreciative of y'alls support, and is in about as good of spirits as we can hope for given the circumstances. I'm looking forward to hooking one of y'all up with an Abraxas fiesta!

    Count me in as well - just donated. Losing a home is utterly devastating - but to lose your pets as well is just heartbreaking.

    Condolences and best wishes to the family.

    Thanks everyone; y’all are awesome. My computer is at work, so I’ll do the randomization and drawing first thing tomorrow (Monday) morning and notify the winner via DM to arrange shipping.

    The Holman family wanted me to let y’all know they are very appreciative of everyone’s generosity!
