A Premier men’s gathering of the “who’s who” in Annapolis, MD and Charleston, SC which will include local residents as well as those traveling from surrounding areas.
In 2014, Dennis Brant, President of Brant Sports Group and Ryan J. Brant, Founder/President of Positive-Strides.org teamed up with several local Annapolis, Maryland businesses, residents and prominent businessmen to create a Men’s Only Premier event featuring some of the finest bourbons and cigars around and, most importantly, to raise awareness about Positive-Strides and the work they are doing to provide injured youth athletes with mental and physical rehabilitation, financial assistance and education on how to prevent and/or cope with play ending injuries.
Teaming up with Maker’s Mark, attendees were treated to their own personal, hand-dipped glass, unlimited tastings, delectable food tastings and a vast array of Silent Auction items. Attracting over 14 vendors who donated their menus and services along with over a dozen local vendors who sponsored tables of their wares, the BBC of Annapolis raised over $129,000 in its first 2 years to benefit Positive-Strides.org and another local non-profit.
