The Parker Lee Foundation believes having fun, and helping kids and families, don’t have to be two separate things. Fundraising and fun-raising are what we’re all about.
We’ve been doing our part to make the world a little better for Columbus kids and families since 2005. (?) Our fundraising efforts go directly to Directions for Youth and Families, and we’re proud to say, with your help, we’ve passed the $400,000 mark in 2025!
Our foundational event has been The PBR10K, which isn’t quite a race in the traditional sense. It is however, a race for 1,000 people to consume 10,000 Pabst Blues Ribbon beers in a matter of 6 hours (while also drinking responsibly!). Of course, we offer free Uber rides home to those who might have had too good a time.
