Community Impact
Organizations We Support
At Baraboo Young Professionals, giving back is at the heart of what we do. Through our events and fundraisers, we proudly support nonprofit organizations that make a meaningful impact in Baraboo and Sauk County. In 2024 alone, BYP donated over $10,000 to local organizations, and we’re excited to continue making a difference in 2025! Each year, the proceeds from our events go directly to nonprofits that help strengthen our community. Here are some of the organizations we’ve supported:
- Hope House – Supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault with resources, advocacy, and shelter services.
