BARCStoberfest 2022 Results!
We are so excited to announce that the 18th annual BARCStoberfest raised an incredible $322,000 for the animals at BARCS!
Another year, another BARCStoberfest! We were SO excited to be back in person at Patterson Park for a beautiful day of lifesaving fun. We dressed up, we ran, we ate, we drank and, most importantly, we raised money to save the lives of homeless animals in Baltimore City.
As you know, BARCS is not an organization of “extra.” Each year, our shelter cares for 10,000 animals on half of our recommended budget. We’ve been underfunded since day one, and we continue to save lives each day against all financial odds.
A tremendous thank you to all who donated or registered to raise money through a personal or team fundraising page. This year’s BARCStoberfest success belongs to each and every one of you. Thank you to The Trexler Foundation, Jeff Abarbanel and Dave Goldner for pledging a matching donation opportunity to save animals in crisis and support our lifesaving mission.
We'd like to recognize our team and individual fundraisers for their tremendous efforts in making the months leading up to our festival a major success for the animals. Thank you also to our 5K runners and one-mile walkers. You are true lifesavers and we are happy to have you on our side.
