BEARINGS BBQ & BREW

Support our impact with the donation of a service, experience or item!

Bearings Bike Works is a youth development organization in southwest Atlanta where kids earn bikes while developing the skills necessary to successfully transition into adulthood. Our mission is to put the right tools in the hands of youth enabling them to advance their skills to build productive lives. Bearings engages over 300 students annually in the important work of skills development while connecting them to positive adult role models, building confidence and preparing them adulthood in the process.

Each year, Bearings hosts an annual fundraiser, Bearings BBQ & Brew, to raise critical funds for its programming and operations and update our supporters about the impact Bearings is having in the lives of youth. This year’s event will take place on Thursday, September 26, 2024 at Monday Night Garage. This casual party features great BBQ, local craft beer, music, inspiring stories, and a chance to support Bearings’ work through silent and live auction items, raffles, games, and more.

Generous auction item donations from partners, friends, local businesses, and community members help make this event such a success. Over the past 6 years, over $750,000 has been raised through this exciting event!
We could not raise these funds or serve our community without the support of businesses and individuals who donate to Bearings in this unique way.
Thank you for considering supporting Bearings!
