Happy Derby Day! 🐎🌹

It’s a celebration of standout style and big winners, making it the perfect moment to preview this dapper item you’ll be able to bid on in our EPIC silent auction at SofaGives 2026.

The Original Grain Espresso Barrel 46MM watch is a true statement piece—crafted from reclaimed Kentucky bourbon barrels and built with a bold 46mm case designed to get noticed. A little history, a lot of character, and the kind of piece that turns heads.

SofaBurn Inc presents SofaGives 2026—officially on the calendar as our biggest event yet. The need for healthcare support for artists is greater than ever, and we’re rising to meet it with a night designed to sell out and make our biggest impact to date as we celebrate five years of giving back.

Exciting update to the SofaGives 2026 bill… .truck.stop is officially added! 🎶

Not only are they an incredible addition to the live music lineup, but lead singer Joe Macheret has a deeply personal connection to our mission.

After putting his health on hold post-pandemic to keep the music going, Joe found himself running out of options. That’s when SofaBurn Inc stepped in — and in his words, it was life-changing.

This is our why✨ Because behind every artist’s work is a real person — navigating sacrifices most of us never see — and they deserve support when it matters most.

Join us for SofaGives 2026 for a night of great music, good food, raffles, auction items, and a community that believes in showing up for artists across the country.

Having someone in your corner when it counts can change everything. 🎨

For artists like David Mueller of Greater Cincinnati, a full-time artist specializing in oil painting fine art, that support made all the difference. When his health took a turn, SofaBurn Inc stepped in to help him navigate the care and financial assistance he needed. With that support, he was able to focus on healing and find his way back to the easel.

This is our why. ✨

Because behind every artist’s work is a real person, and sometimes what they need most is someone in their corner.

Join us for SofaGives 2026, a night filled with live music, great food, raffles, auction items, and a community that shows up for artists when it matters most.

A lot of sacrifice goes into stepping on a stage. 🎶

For guys like Joe Macheret, that meant putting his health on hold post-pandemic to keep the music going. When options started running thin, SofaBurn Inc stepped in to help and, in his words, it was a life changer.

This is our why. ✨

Because behind every artist’s work, there are real people making sacrifices most of us never see and they deserve support when it matters most.

Join us for SofaGives 2026. It’s a fun night with good music, good food, raffles, auction items, and a room full of people who want to keep artists across the country creating.
