That support pushed Leidl to create Win4Jax, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting parents going through the same nightmare he did. The name has a special meaning. Nate says that it shows that a win for any child victim of a crime is also a win for Jaxon.

Thank you everyone for coming out to the inaugural Picks & Pours Fest yesterday. Despite the changes, it was a great time. With such a respectful crowd, cleanup was a breeze!
The Tour kicked things off and played a wonderful set. Pat McCurdy got the crowd laughing, participating and even sang songs for a lucky few. Crimson Theory blew up the place and knocked the socks off the audience!

The football and gift card raffles were terrific and we appreciate all of the donations!

I'd like to especially thank my family and friends who helped out with the event, volunteering their entire day and to the friends and family who attended the event and stayed all day and night! Big thanks for the ticket holders who donated their ticket money back to Win4Jax! Also, much appreciation to Bent Paddle Brewing Co. for the beer donation (sorry for the mixup!). Finally, thanks to the food trucks who stuck with us and provided some great eats!

We learned a lot from the first year and have some new ideas and changes for next year.
