Aruna Project
The Aruna Project is an international human rights non-profit dedicated to freeing, employing, and empowering survivors of human trafficking. By providing empowerment through employment, Aruna creates lifelong freedom for women by helping them find their voice, experience independence, and develop a marketable job skill alongside a sisterhood of others who have overcome. Through its products and events, you can literally help set free and give the liberating power of choice to women like Reshma, Fathima, Pooja and so many others, while also celebrating freedom in your own adventure.
The Aruna Run Race Series is the catalyst of the freedom process, with the money raised flowing into Aruna’s Training Centers in areas of high sexual exploitation in South Asia. Once freed, the women are offered full-time employment in Aruna’s Freedom Business, where they are trained to produce the line of Athleisure bags and headbands sold in its online store, at events, and at select retail locations. The proceeds from the sale of the products are reinvested into the Freedom Business to fund the holistic care each Artisan receives: a living wage, safe housing, healthcare, retirement savings, and counseling.
Its flagship race is the Cincinnati Aruna Run that is held in downtown Cincinnati each Labor Day. For 2024, the run will be held on Labor Day, September 2, starting and ending at Smale Riverfront Park. Races include 10K, 5K, and 1-Mile. 100% of registration fees and additional donations go to the cause. See all the run details and register at https://bit.ly/2024CincinnatiArunaRun.

Willow Run Custom Bourbon Experiences
Returning Cincinnati and Bourbon Back to Its Roots:
Willow Run is a tribute to the rich history of Cincinnati and the legacy of its founder, William J. McRoberts Jr. Established in 1865. Willow Run embodies the city’s spirit of freedom, courage, and resilience. McRoberts, an Irish immigrant, played a pivotal role in the Underground Railroad early in his career, using bourbon barrels to help escaping slaves cross the Ohio River to freedom. This profound connection to Cincinnati's past drives our mission to revive the grand tradition of 1800s barrel blenders. Our premium bourbon is actually named after W.J. McRoberts.
Unique Tasting Experiences:
At Willow Run, we believe everyone should have their own custom bourbon. Among other offerings, we offer three distinctive ways to taste and experience our exceptional bourbon:
1. Custom Bourbon Blending Experience: Dive into the art of bourbon blending and create your own custom blend. In this 45-minute experience, you'll work with six unique bourbons, learn about the history of bourbon, Cincinnati, and Willow Run, and craft your own bourbon recipe. If you love your blend, you can purchase and name a bottle of your custom bourbon selection. Reservations highly recommended (WillowRunBourbon.com)
2. “Flight School” – Cocktail & Bourbon Experiences: Elevate your bourbon journey with our Flight School at our Teaching Bar, where you'll sample a curated selection of bourbon flights paired with expertly crafted cocktails for a truly immersive tasting experience. Takes approximately 20-30 minutes; no reservation needed.
3. Bourbon Wizard – AI & Bourbon Pick Experiences: Step into the future of bourbon tasting with our Bourbon Wizard experience. Our AI-driven recommendation system will guide you through a personalized bourbon selection process, ensuring you find the perfect pour for any occasion. WillowRunBourbon.com/Wizard
Customers can also enjoy a flight of their choosing, enjoy bourbon-based cocktails, full pours of any of our bourbons, and small bites.
Willow Run is located downtown Cincinnati at 645 Walnut St., at the corner of 7th and Walnut, directly across from the Aronoff Center. Willow Run is a WoodCraft® Bourbon Blender Franchisee. WoodCraft® was developed by the team that founded the Brain Brew Distillery in Newtown Ohio.
