Sold-out Bourbon & Bling benefits Westfield Washington students & staff
Submitted
The Westfield Education Foundation (WEF) raised more than $50,000 in funds to directly support students and staff through its sold-out Annual Bourbon & Bling fundraising event from 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 16, 2025, at Moyer Fine Jewelers.
Funds raised will support Westfield Washington Schools through grants, programs, and initiatives that enrich teaching and learning across the district.
The event welcomed community leaders, supporters, and partners for an enjoyable evening featuring catering by Prime 47, shopping throughout Moyer Fine Jewelers, a wine pull, and the signature high-end Bourbon & Bling Raffle, which showcased 33 highly sought-after bourbon selections.
The top prize – Pappy Van Winkle 12-Year – was won by Joseph Huntzinger. Additional raffle highlights included rare and premium bottles such as George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy, Blanton’s Gold, Weller 12-Year, Knob Creek 18-Year, and Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, among many others.
The evening also featured a 19-item silent auction with experiences and packages ranging from fine jewelry and premium spirits to sports tickets, dining experiences, travel, golf outings, and opportunities to directly support teacher grants, the Shamrock Supply Hub, and new scholarships for Westfield students.
WEF extends sincere appreciation to Moyer Fine Jewelers for graciously hosting the event and to Prime 47 for providing exceptional cuisine. WEF is also grateful to the many sponsors whose support made the evening possible:
CORE Construction, CSO, Elements Financial, Everwise Credit Union, Garmong Construction, Hagerman, KGR Law, KI, KrM, Market District, Meyer Najem, Moyer Fine Jewelers, Noble Wine & Spirits, Performance Services, Prime 47, Schmidt Associates, and St. Elmo’s.
“Bourbon & Bling continues to be a powerful example of what’s possible when our community comes together,” WEF Executive Director Ashley Knott said. “The generosity in the room will have a lasting impact on the students and staff we serve.”
Bourbon & Bling is an annual Westfield Education Foundation event, and plans are already underway for next year, which will mark a special milestone: the Foundation’s 40th anniversary.
