Boost your local charities!

Skip expensive dinners and 5-mile runs! Instead, be a part of Kansas City's favorite holiday tradition, 12 Bars of Charity! Gather your friends and make a difference in your community!

May the best team win!

The charity bar crawl is a fun event with 9 local charities competing against each other. Each charity is assigned a team color, and for every sweatshirt sold, $15 is donated to their team!

We also added an Ultimate Giver Hoodie that represents your awesome commitment to all of our Charity Partners!

We're back, bigger and better!

12 Bars of Charity was founded in St. Louis, MO, in the winter of 2012,​ with​ the idea of creating a fun and casual way for charities to involve their supporters. From 12 Bars of Charity’s inaugural event to now, over $2.2 million has been raised for local community organizations, with over 175,000 participants!

In 2023, we raised over $380k for charity! We've collaborated extensively with local charities, bars, and restaurants in the community to make sure that everyone has the BEST experience on the big day! Please help us top last years donation by getting your friends involved!
