Whiskey Auction
Rare Bottles. Rock Star Guitars. Real Impact.
The spirit of Hoochenanny proved to be stronger than ever.
In its first year in 2025, the inaugural Hoochenanny Whiskey Auction raised more than $30,000 through the sale of rare bottles and one of a kind guitars. Every dollar directly benefited Endless Highway, the Lou Gramm Foundation, and Make A Wish Western New York.
Thanks to an incredible community of bidders, donors, artists, and supporters, this first year auction exceeded expectations and set the tone for what is sure to become a meaningful annual tradition.
We were not just raising glasses. We were raising hope, inclusion, and dreams.
The auction is now officially closed, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make it such a powerful success.
Endless Highway is a Rochester-based nonprofit expanding access to sports, recreation, and the arts for people with disabilities.

Founded by rock legend Lou Gramm, the Lou Gramm Foundation is dedicated to supporting aspiring musicians and promoting excellence in music education. Its mission is to remove financial and systemic barriers, fostering the growth of artists, leaders, and performers who will define the future of music.

Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Serving the greater Rochester and Western New York regions, the organization seeks to bring every eligible child’s wish to life because research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness.
