Barx Parx Hosts Barxgiving Event with Fundraiser, Raffle and PUPkin Pie Showdown on November 23

The annual Barxgiving Fundraiser is set to return to Barx Parx on Sunday, November 23, 2025, promising an energetic blend of community spirit, canine chaos, and heartfelt charity. Running from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the event brings together families, dog lovers, and rescue supporters for an afternoon packed with activities designed to help fund the Barx Parx Foundation.

Hosted at 8868 S Eastern Ave, Suite #115 in Las Vegas, the fundraiser is free and open to all ages for those taking part in the charitable portion of the event. With everything from bake sale treats to a lively donation drive, the gathering aims to rally the community behind the Foundation’s mission of supplying and supporting local rescues across the valley.

A Fundraiser With a Mission

The Barx Parx Foundation, a registered 501c3 non-profit, serves as the driving force behind the Barxgiving celebration. Its work centers on helping Las Vegas–area rescues with funding, supplies, and ongoing support — needs that continue to grow as more animals enter local shelters and foster systems each year.

This year’s event leans heavily into family-friendly fun while keeping its philanthropic purpose front and center. Attendees can browse an assortment of homemade goods at the bake sale, try their luck with raffle prizes, or donate items such as dog toys, treats, and pet food at the community donation drop-off. Every dollar and donated item goes directly toward helping dogs in need, adding a meaningful layer to the day’s festive atmosphere.

Contests, Chaos, and the PUPkin Pie Showdown

Barxgiving has built a reputation for its playful competitions, and the 2025 edition is set to deliver another round of amusing spectacles. The PUPkin Pie Eating Contest returns as one of the main attractions, inviting participants to make a $5 donation for a spot in the slobbery showdown. The contest routinely draws laughter, cameras, and enthusiastic canine competitors eager to snatch up seasonal treats as fast as possible.

Two additional contests give dogs of all shapes and sizes their moment in the spotlight. Small dogs will take the stage at 2:00 PM, followed by their larger counterparts at 2:15 PM. These quick-fire events often become crowd favorites, turning the indoor space into a spirited arena of wagging tails, cheering owners, and friendly rivalry.

Inside the Indoor Dog Park and Happy Hour

While the fundraiser itself is open to all ages, the indoor dog park and happy hour portion of Barxgiving remains a 21+ experience. Dogs attending this section must be fully registered with Barx Parx, have up-to-date vaccines, and pass a behavior assessment prior to entry. These requirements ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for both pets and patrons.

Non-members are welcome to join the indoor festivities by purchasing a single-use day pass at standard rates. Attendees hoping to experience this side of the event can register their dogs in advance through BarxParx.com/register, ensuring smooth access to the park’s off-leash play spaces and themed social atmosphere.

A Community Gathering With Real Impact

Over eight years, Barxgiving has evolved into a beloved local tradition that blends light-hearted entertainment with a tangible commitment to animal welfare. Its mix of bake sale goodies, cheerful contests, and donation-driven activity makes it a standout event for Las Vegas pet lovers seeking a way to give back.

With proceeds directly supporting rescues through the Barx Parx Foundation, the fundraiser continues to serve as an important bridge between the community and the animals who rely on it. For many attendees, the annual gathering offers not just an afternoon of fun but a meaningful opportunity to support a cause that touches countless lives across Southern Nevada.
