You could win this one-of-a-kind custom-designed Formula 1 helmet and help raise funds for Ben’s Friends.
AUCTION CLOSES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17 AT 12PM
As part of the upcoming Southern Smoke Festival, three helmets were uniquely designed by Surge, a popular Miami-based postgraffism visual artist as part of the recent Formula 1 race in Miami.
Two of these helmets were worn by McLaren drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, and one replica was created and donated to non-profit Ben’s Friends by Brown-Forman, parent company to Jack Daniels. The replica helmet is one of a kind and is a result of the McLaren and Brown-Forman partnership.
The funds collected will go towards benefitting the Southern Smoke Foundation and Ben’s Friends to help our mission of offering community, hope, and a path forward for those struggling with substance abuse and addiction in the hospitality industry.
