The Wagers

The Bootlegger’s Outpost — Sponsored by Central Distributors 🍻
The first stop on the journey to The Wagers set the tone for an unforgettable night.

Tucked away where the streets are quiet and the deals are whispered, The Bootlegger’s Outpost paid tribute to a legendary moment in history: when a six-horse Budweiser Clydesdale team delivered the first case of post-Prohibition beer straight to the White House in 1933 — a symbol of celebration, freedom, and a long-awaited rebirth.

On November 13, 2025, we channeled that same spirit. Guests rolled in, checked in, cracked the code with password roulette, and boarded transportation provided by Jackson Transit Authority — made all the more entertaining by the now-famous runners, Ronaldo & Frank.

Huge thanks to Central Distributors, Inc. , JTA, our Y team, and the incredible volunteers who transformed the Outpost into the perfect launch point for a night worth remembering.

The High Rollers Club dealt a winning hand for the YMCA at The Wagers! On November 13, they presented a check for $26,000. That number is still growing, now over $27,000 for the Y.

Congrats to our High Roller Champion, Spencer “The Banker” Pratt, for running the table at Texas Hold’em Showdown, and to Chad Davis, our Highest Fundraiser, raising an impressive $4,763.

Huge thanks to Yukon Outfitters for the custom cooler and to Central Distributors, Inc., for the swag and prize items donated for our champions.

Cheers to our High Rollers: Mandy White, Mark Taylor, Kelly Cox, Cleo Griffin, Patton Webb, Danny Fry, Stacy McIntyre, Spencer Pratt, and Chad Davis. You went all-in for community impact. Thank you!

And a big thank-you to Leaders Credit Union for sponsoring the High Rollers Club!
