BEAT THE BEAST as a Beast Fundraiser!

Our fundraisers are beasting to bring awareness and acceptance to the abilities and potential of all people. They know first-hand that everyone is striving to overcome obstacles. Your donation to a Beast fundraiser will elevate their efforts and fuel the mission of the Barber National Institute.

In addition to a challenging training program, fundraisers layer on the extra challenge of raising a minimum of $500 by noon on Friday, Aug. 30. Over the event's 11-year history, our fundraisers have Beat the Beast and raised thousands of dollars.

The last day to register as a fundraiser is Friday, August 30, 2025.


Congratulations to our 2024 Top Fundraisers!
