Our tequila family lost someone very special this past week. Mike VanHoene, beloved husband to our friend, Gail. Many of us have had the privilege of sharing memories, tequila and laughter with BAT OGs Mike and Gail over the years, and we want to come together to support Gail during this difficult time.

Gail has been through tremendous stress throughout Mike's illness, and as this year marks the final BAT trip, we want to make sure she can be with her tequila family.

This GoFundMe will help with travel expenses for the 2026 BAT trip and support toward medical and end-of-life costs.

If you knew Mike, you know how deeply he loved Gail, and how much our community meant to both of them. Any contribution, big or small, will help ease the burden and show Gail that she is not walking this path alone. Thank you for being part of this wonderful community.
