The Cause

Every ticket purchased funds a step toward stable housing.

429 Connects works alongside Greater Cincinnati families facing housing insecurity — through rental and utility assistance, grocery support, and education supports like small grants and book assistance. We address the symptoms that put housing at risk, so families can move toward lasting economic mobility rather than just the next bill. One evening of bourbon tastings and boot-stomping music helps carry that work through the year ahead.
