New Spirit Available in ABC Stores this Fall with a Portion of Proceeds Going to NIL Collective Supporting UNC Football
CHAPEL HILL, NC – September 12, 2023 – Heels4Life and Foundry Distilling, a world-renowned distiller based in Des Moines, Iowa, have partnered to release Franklin Street Vodka. The spirit will be available in ABC Stores throughout North Carolina in September with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Heels4Life as it continues to raise money in support of the football student-athletes.
“We are excited to collaborate with Foundry on a branded product that stands out from other vodkas, while supporting our program,” said Graham Boone, Executive Director of Heels4Life. “In this competitive space, we are always looking for advantages and opportunities. Our goal is to provide a way for Tar Heel fans to support our work and responsibly enjoy a premium spirit.”
“We’ve crafted a quality vodka for Tar Heel fans to enjoy on game days or when surrounded by family and friends,” said Scott Bush, founder of Foundry Distilling. “Distilled from 100 percent corn mash, this vodka is wonderfully clean with faint notes of peppercorn, lemon citrus, and whipped cream, so it both mixes well and has a great flavor over ice.”
