Every stein poured funds Southcoast youth.

SCBA is a Southcoast nonprofit investing in at-risk youth across New Bedford, Fall River, and beyond. NB Oktoberfest is our largest fundraiser of the year, and proceeds go directly to a range of local youth-focused nonprofits — from scholarships and school programs to community centers, mentorship, and youth sports. Last year's numbers are below, and we're aiming higher for the 20th.

20 Years running
$100K+ Raised in 2025, after expenses
