The 3rd Annual Bourbon & Bags Fundraiser, presented by Procore Technologies, was a phenomenal night of fun, competition, generosity, and community spirit. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, or attended, making this event a resounding success. This evening of festivities raised an impressive $100,000, significantly benefiting four vital Detroit-area organizations: The Parade Company, YMCA of Metro Detroit, Detroit Zoological Society, and Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network.

The Bourbon & Bags event has become a beloved annual tradition, and this year’s iteration combined friendly rivalry, amazing food, and the delights of bourbon tastings.

Procore Technologies’ generous support as the presenting sponsor played a crucial role in the success of this year’s fundraiser. Their commitment to the community and passion for making a difference is commendable, setting an inspiring example of corporate social responsibility.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all sponsors whose collective generosity was vital to our fundraising efforts. Their contributions helped transform this event from a vision into reality, magnifying the impact on our community organizations.
