Join us for an unforgettable evening of BBQ, Bourbon & Burlesque as we celebrate Matthew 25's 30 year anniversary while supporting the impactful work across our 12 Indiana counties.

Event Disclaimer: This is a 21+ ticketed event due to alcohol service and the featured burlesque performance. The show includes elements of classic burlesque, including partial nudity, mature themes, and sexual innuendo. We encourage guests to familiarize themselves with the art form before purchasing tickets to ensure it aligns with their expectations.
BBQ Buffet: Catered by Chef What of Henderson, KY. The menu will consist of pulled pork, bbq beans, smoked mac and cheese, buns and bbq sauces.
Bourbon Experience: Green River Distilling Company will be the featured bourbon of the evening. Guests will hear about four core products during a special presentation by Caryn Wells, National Brand Ambassador. Additional distilling partners will include Heaven Hills, Hard Truth and Old Dominick. More announcements coming soon.
Burlesque Entertainment: Close out the night with a dazzling, vintage-inspired burlesque variety show by the Drop Dead Darlings Burlesque Troop, bringing glamour, artistry, and a touch of Prohibition-era charm to the stage.
Silent Auction: Guests may bid digitally on an expansive list of highly sought after bourbons and bourbon themed packages. Full bourbon list will be announced at a later date.
Purpose Behind the Party: This year, we shine a spotlight on an important and often overlooked topic regarding HIV in Southwest Indiana and the HIV care and supportive services offered through Matthew 25. We will also be celebrating 30 years in service.
Dress Code: Cocktail attire with touches of black and/or gold to match the evening’s elegant vibe. Roaring 20s or Prohibition-era attire is highly encouraged.
