"Our national parks protect awe-inspiring landscapes, unique
plants and wildlife, and spaces in nature for us to connect with
ourselves, and our communities," said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for National
Parks Conservation Association. "Our long-standing partnership
with Yellowstone Bourbon has supported many national park
victories, and we're thrilled to celebrate this donation milestone
and its impact on these special places."
"Both bourbon and national parks have a unique way of bringing
people together, creating shared experiences and lasting memories,"
said Kelly Panzitta, Brand Manager
for Yellowstone Bourbon. "Reaching the $1
million donation milestone is a testament to the power of
partnerships and our commitment to protecting these treasured
landscapes. As a brand with a 150-year legacy, we are proud to
continue supporting NPCA in their mission to safeguard our national
parks for future generations to explore and enjoy."
Yellowstone Bourbon was named for America's first national park
and continues to commemorate its heritage and connection to
national parks through its partnership with NPCA. Over the past
seven years, NPCA and Yellowstone Bourbon have partnered on
numerous campaigns to protect national parks while inspiring others
to take action on behalf of our public lands. From a music video
series featuring country, folk and Americana musicians performing
songs in national parks that inspired them to providing direct
support to flood relief efforts in the wake of devastating floods
that swept through Yellowstone National
Park and the surrounding area in 2022, the partnership has
furthered the preservation of parks in myriad ways.
