It\u2019s a new day, a new year, and I\u2019m feeling good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Alan and I started spitballing the idea for this group, our original thought was simple. Do good and do it locally. THAT SIMPLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we ran our first event in November we were blown away by the support of our relatively small group of initial members for the Arkansas Food Bank. We\u2019d hoped we\u2019d eventually meet new members of our community and help support causes that are personal to them, aka us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Literally before we closed the door on the first event, Britton reached out to us with a cause that was dear to his heart with at least a half dozen prizes ready and waiting! When he told us his passion was the Arkansas Special Olympics, needless to say, we were ALL IN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please take a minute to check out the pinned post from Alan Myers. ANY donation you are willing to make, makes a difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal: 5K! Every donation of 20 per gets a ticket, every cumulative donation of 100 gets you one ticket into a special drawing to be announced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s a dry month for your body, but don\u2019t let that hold back the benevolence of your heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers BBTs!\u201d**<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens-1024x478.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Charles-Dickens.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"update-from-alan-myers-january-14-2023\">\ud83d\udd14 Update from Alan Myers \u2014 January 14, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>**\u201c@everyone Proud of you so far BBT members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are over 30% towards our goal of 5k already \ud83d\udd25 let\u2019s not let up now!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arkansas Special Olympics is hoping to construct a new legacy building this year for the over 20,000 youth athletes.

I greatly appreciate you donating to this event to raise money for Special Olympics Arkansas. I also wanted to give you a little bit of a background about Special Olympics and my involvement with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of you have never met me, and I don\u2019t usually post a lot about myself on social media, but I am a Police Officer in the state. I originally got involved with Special Olympics in 2016 when I was introduced to the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. Officers all around our state participate in this event to champion acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also host fundraisers all over the state to raise money to support Special Olympics Arkansas in providing year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for those with intellectual disabilities. Arkansas is one of only a few states that fully funds the program to allow the athletes to participate at no cost to them or their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first got involved, I was unsure of what I was getting into, but when I went to my first sporting event and got to experience the athletes competing and being able to award the athletes medals, I was hooked. In Law Enforcement, we are in a different environment, but the environment changes completely when you are around the athletes and at these events. Hearing some of their stories and seeing where they have come from has been something that has truly inspired me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does this program focus on helping them with athletics, it teaches them sportsmanship and also has programs to help with public speaking. This program helps empower and transform the athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My involvement and interaction with the athletes that I have made friends with has made me a better person. You\u2019re not only helping Special Olympics Arkansas fund athletic events for the athletes. The funds raised also help officers who are involved with the program on a completely different level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Y\u2019all have been killing it so far and we are getting close to that 5k goal for the special bottle. Since we are getting close I am going to let you know what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Chepenik and Nevada H&amp;C Distilling Co were so kind to donate a bottle of Smoke Wagon Rare and Limited Special Batch Small Batch, bottle 301\/342. I\u2019m sure this will be an amazing bottle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to go back to the original post to donate and comment a picture of your donation!\u201d**<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo1-BBT.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image \u00a9 Ryan Britton &#8211; January 14 2023 \u2013 Used for editorial purposes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo2-BBT.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo2-BBT.jpg 720w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo2-BBT-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo2-BBT-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image \u00a9 Ryan Britton &#8211; January 14 2023 \u2013 Used for editorial purposes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo3-BBT-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo3-BBT-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo3-BBT-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo3-BBT-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/arkansasliquor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Photo3-BBT.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image \u00a9 Ryan Britton &#8211; January 14 2023 \u2013 Used for editorial purposes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"update-from-alan-myers-january-14-2023-1\">\ud83d\udd14 Update from Alan Myers \u2014 January 14, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>**\u201c@everyone, we are halfway to our goal of 5k!!
