Crawl for a cause and join thousands of locals this winter for Kansas City’s most charitable bar crawl, where every pour helps make a difference.
The 12 Bars of Charity returns to KC Live! in the Power & Light District with drink specials, no covers, and a donation from every registration going straight to the charity you choose.
Ages 21+ | Tickets Required
1. Register Online & Get Your Gear
Once you register, you’ll receive your official 12 Bars of Charity sweatshirt—your team color, your pass for the night, and your ticket for free shuttle rides between participating bars. Choose between shipping your sweatshirt to you or pick at up at KC Live! on event day.
2. Crawl for a Cause
Throw on your sweatshirt and hit the town! You’ll enjoy exclusive drink specials, no cover at any participating venue, and free shuttle service between stops (where applicable).
3. Celebrate in Good Company
12 Bars of Charity is all about community and inclusion. We welcome everyone—regardless of race, gender, orientation, or background—and ensure all venues are wheelchair accessible. Sign-language interpreters and other accommodations are available upon request.
