Good Trouble Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brought its bold spirit of purpose and progress to Baltimore this past weekend.
Led by founder and social impact advocate Dee M. Robinson, Good Trouble supported NFL MVP Lamar Jackson’s Forever Dreamers Foundation, the National Thoroughbred League (NTL) through which Jackson is lead owner of the Baltimore Colts, and Governor Wes Moore’s ENOUGH Initiative through a two-day activation.
On Friday, May 9, Good Trouble hosted an exclusive VIP celebration at The Horse You Came In On Saloon to mark the official launch of the Forever Dreamers 8 Scholars Apprentice Program—a no-cost initiative offering career pathways for Baltimore youth in Maryland’s historic thoroughbred industry.
The momentum continued on Saturday, May 10 at Pimlico Race Course, where the inaugural “Good Trouble Stakes” was run during the NTL Pimlico Cup. The event drew notable guests, including Maryland Governor Wes Moore and First Lady Dawn Moore. Dee M. Robinson, proudly presented the trophy alongside Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to winning team Miami Thunderbolts, and winning jockey Ismerio Villalobos.

Shine Your Light Foundation, the charitable arm supported by proceeds from every bottle of Good Trouble Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, announced Forever Dreamers Foundation, founded by Lamar Jackson, as a new recipient of its funding. This partnership reinforces the shared mission of expanding opportunity and creating lasting impact for underserved youth.
Good Trouble is a purpose-led, small-batch spirit that has earned widespread acclaim, including a recent Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Now available in 40 states online and at select retailers in Illinois, Good Trouble Bourbon continues to inspire drinkers to seek bold flavor—and bold change—with every pour.
