The 6,000,000th Barrel of Buffalo Trace - Bottle Number 69 of 400

Onondaga Community Living's mission:

 "To empower and individually support people with developmental disabilities to live full lives as integral respected members of their community."

The 6,000,000th Barrel of Buffalo Trace had aged in Buffalo Trace’s single barrel warehouse, Warehouse “V” for 10 years and 11 months. It yielded a total of 400 375ml production bottles proofed to the standard 94 proof for the brand. Each comes in a bottle with a gold-colored, handwritten description on the front. The bottles are packaged in numbered hardwood cases with an etched glass face indicating the bottle number and brand information. Each includes a piece of one of the charred oak staves from the barrel, along with a brochure explaining more about the release. All of the available bottles were provided to non-profit organizations at no cost for the purpose of raising money for their causes. Read more about this release via the official website.

Opportunities and Choices in Life is what Onondaga Community Living is all about.

We empower extraordinary people to take charge of their lives, to “self-hire” those who assist them, and live as they choose. At Onondaga Community Living the person served is the person in charge.

Our experienced team really listens to each individual we serve. We understand the importance of providing opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to pursue their desires and interests, to live as they choose, to volunteer and have jobs in the community, to attend college, and to grow genuine personal relationships.

100% of net proceeds from this auction will be set aside to be used for the benefit of the people we serve. This includes a wide variety of needs and wants not provided for by traditional funding streams. In the past we have funded a gym membership for a person who refused to be told they would never walk again, extra sets of tires for a wheelchair-bound individual who is so social they wear out their tires before their state funding says they will pay for new ones, and emergency veterinarian services for a much-loved therapy pet.  While these may seem like small things, they impact the people we service in tremendous ways. 

If you are unable to bid on this auction, please consider making a small donation, because even that can go a long way.  Thank you for your interest in Onondaga Community Living!
