Boost your local charities!

Skip expensive dinners and 5-mile runs! Instead, be a part of Philadelphias's favorite new 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 8 local charities competing against each other. Each charity is assigned a team color, and for every sweatshirt sold, $15 is donated to their team! Your sweatshirt is your ticket into the event, and gets you access to exclusive drink specials and no cover at all participating bars. 

Select Your Charity Team!

Your new favorite community event!

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 $1.8 million has been raised for local community organizations, with over 150,000 participants!

In 2022, we raised over $360k for charity! Recently, the event expanded to 6 additional cities, with plans to add even more cities soon! 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!
