Bootleggers, Ballgowns, and Big Hearts: Celebrating 20 Years of Hope

We’re officially counting down to a very special evening! It's the 20th Anniversary Bootlegger’s Ball, and trust me, this is one you don’t want to miss. We’re gearing up for an unforgettable night filled with great food, impactful stories, and a silent auction that supports an incredible cause. Tickets will be on sale soon, so get those dancing shoes (and your best gala look) ready!

I’m so excited to be emceeing a special night that combines great food, great company, and a really great cause. This gala proves why community matters, and why 92.5 WBKR is on board as the media sponsor. Will you be there? I hope so!

A Night Worth Dressing Up For

The 20th Anniversary Bootlegger’s Ball takes place at Green River Distilling Co. on Saturday, March 7, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. This evening supports the life-changing work of CrossRoads Food Pantry and CrossRoads to Hope Emergency Overnight Shelter for Women and Children, helping provide nourishment, safety, and hope for those who need it most.

Table Sponsors & Silent Auction Support

Support is still being gathered through table sponsors and silent auction items. Anyone interested is encouraged to message Crossroads for more information. Every contribution helps make this event impactful and supports vital programs the community so desperately needs.

A Safe Place for Women & Children

CrossRoads to Hope Emergency Overnight Shelter holds a unique place in the community as the first walk-in emergency overnight shelter for homeless women and children in Owensboro and Daviess County, Kentucky. It provides safety, dignity, and hope during life’s most difficult moments.

Empowering People Through HOPE

At the core of the mission is a commitment to providing food and shelter to those in need. CrossRoads partners with TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) to offer food at no cost to individuals and families experiencing short-term hunger. Services include the food pantry, Nanna’s Cupboard, and senior food assistance programs.

Lend a Hand, Make a Difference

Volunteering at CrossRoads to Hope Emergency Overnight Shelter is one of the easiest ways to see the impact of your time and energy. The shelter depends entirely on people stepping up. Whether it’s helping open earlier on cold nights, bringing meals, or just lending a hand during the evening. Every little bit counts, and it really makes a difference for the women, children, and volunteers who rely on the shelter. If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, this is the perfect chance to be part of something big!
