Bars for your Bucks! Bucks for BEAT!

October 3rd - October 21st

It’s another battle of bars for your bucks! 

BEAT is a nonprofit organization that champions Hip Hop as a dynamic tool in improving physical and mental wellbeing. We believe that Hip Hop improves self-esteem, supports mental health, sustains physical health, and allows people to thrive. And we have 8 contestants willing to put their talents on the line to prove it to you!

This BEAT battle consists of three rounds, where 8 contestants will showcase not only their songwriting abilities, but make the case for why Hip Hop arts education deserves your support. No participant will be eliminated. The contestants will get to make their case throughout all three rounds. We’ll host one round every week, launching the videos on Monday and announcing the winner on Friday.

These contestants appreciate your comments and likes on social media...but donations will propel them to victory! The contestant with the most amount raised will win the beat battle. 

One Dollar = One Vote

But here’s the thing...If you believe that Hip Hop is a key to improving mental and physical wellbeing for kids, young adults, and people with disabilities, then BEAT and our battle contestants need your support! Your donations support the contestants and BEAT’s mission to champion Hip Hop as a dynamic tool in improving physical and mental wellbeing.

Here is just some of what BEAT can do with your support:

  • 1.00 USD gives your favorite contestant a vote.
  • 10.00 USD funds free access for one (1) student to one (1) workshop across all programs.
  • 50.00 USD funds free access for five (5) students to one (1) workshop across all programs.
  • 100.00 USD funds our Teaching Artist facilitation rate for one (1) workshop across all programs.

The bigger your donation, the bigger your impact! 

Our goal of $10,000 will fund a series of five (5) year-long residencies across all programs at a NYC school or community center.
