TAMPA – Liquor Depot owner Trey Lawson is once again teaming up with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Mike Alstott and the Mike Alstott Family Foundation for the store’s charity barrel fundraiser program.
On Oct. 11, there will be 125 bottles available exclusively for purchase at the Liquor Depot Waters location (7304 W Waters Avenue). Alstott will be there for photo opportunities and signing bottles. Doors open at 9 a.m. The bottles are available first come, first serve with one bottle per person.
The barrel that Lawson and Alstot selected this year is a 12-year Penelope Estate Collection Rye. It will be available on Oct. 11 for $169.50 per bottle. (The number 50 to celebrate the Buccaneers 50th season). All of the proceeds from the sale of the bottles will support the Mike Alstott Family Foundation.
Lawson, a lifelong Buccaneers fan, launched this charity barrel fundraiser back in 2021 because he is passionate about giving back and making a difference in the community.
Since the start of this initiative, Liquor Depot has donated almost $40,000 to the Mike Alstott Family Foundation from 100% of the proceeds of three barrels they have selected together.
The goal of the fourth barrel is to raise over $10,000 from the community’s support.
The Mike Alstott Family Foundation’s mission is to uplift the minds, hearts and spirits of families and children on their way to realizing their full potential through various events, assistance programs and celebrations.
“Single barrels are incredibly unique and once they are sold, they are gone forever, never to be replicated,” Lawson said. “We are excited to once again offer this exclusive barrel opportunity to help raise funds for the Mike Alstott Family Foundation and make a difference in our community.”
