Awards
- IU Indianapolis Spirit of Philanthropy Award - 2007
Since the day after Prohibition, National Wine & Spirits (NW&S), a family-owned, Indiana-based company, has distributed wine and spirits throughout the Midwest. Guided by core values that include corporate citizenship, NW&S provides wine not only to its clients, but to organizations for charity events as well. NW&S fields approximately two contribution solicitations per day, amounting to nearly 500 requests annually, and strives to respond to each one.
NW&S has been a benefactor of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management. Between 1997 and 2007, the company has given more than $250,000 worth of wine to IUPUI's wine education classes. This represents approximately 25,000 bottles. These donations make it possible for students of Tourism Management to be better prepared for their future careers.
