About Us

What started as a casual afternoon bar crawl in Norwood, turned into a meaningful reunion and gathering of friends through years

Our Mission

The Norwood Bar Crawl is a community-driven foundation focused on raising funds through charitable contributions via sponsored events while simultaneously supporting the local businesses that are the cornerstone of the city. By bringing together friends, families, and residents, the event(s) foster a sense of connection and camaraderie, creating meaningful experiences for all involved. Our mission is to unite people in celebration, strengthen our community, and make a positive impact through collective action—all while enjoying the vibrant local establishments that make Cincinnati a special place to live, work, and gather.

Charitable Purpose

The Norwood Bar Crawl Foundation is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds to support qualified charitable organizations and community initiatives that enhance the health, welfare, and quality of life of local residents. Through the coordination of community-based fundraising events, the Foundation seeks to generate financial support for nonprofits and public benefit programs, promote economic vitality among local businesses, and encourage community engagement. All funds raised are used to further charitable activities, and no part of the Foundation’s net earnings benefits any private individual.
