History of The Bootblack Round Up

In 2015, Sparkie, 2015 Illinois Community Bootblack, wanted to do a unique fundraising event to end his title year and decided to fill the void for Bootblack-focused events. So, he contacted his friend, Blackjack, who runs the Get Your Black On Charity and asked his soon-to-be wife, Girl Becky, to help with this endeavor. In 2016, Midwest

In 2015, Sparkie, 2015 Illinois Community Bootblack, wanted to do a unique fundraising event to end his title year and decided to fill the void for Bootblack-focused events. So, he contacted his friend, Blackjack, who runs the Get Your Black On Charity and asked his soon-to-be wife, Girl Becky, to help with this endeavor. In 2016, Midwest Bootblack Round-Up, with support from CLAW Nation, raised $1,600 for three charities and a former IMsBB in need of assistance.  Unfortunately, for personal reasons, Blackjack chose to step down from his role as Producer before our next event.



​Given the success of the weekend, and the number of attendees from outside the Midwest, we dropped the first word of our name and and are excited to "round-up" Bootblacks from anywhere and everywhere.


 The 2nd Annual Bootblack Roundup was held in St Louis, Missouri, at JJ's Clubhouse and Bar. With the community's help, we raised $2,000 for our three beneficiaries: Pets Are Wonderful Support, Get Your Black On, and Mr Friendly!


The 3rd Annual Bootblack Round Up Raised 1,130.33 for the 4 Charity's Leather Heart Foundation,CLAW, Leather Archives and Museum and Broadway youth Center


The 4th Annual Bootblack Round Up Raised $550 While this wasn't our biggest year it was the most intimate and educated weekend yet! The Charity's were the Leather Archives and Museum and CLAW Corp


The 5rd Annual Bootblack Round-Up Was Suppose to be at the Leather Archives and Museum and Jackhammer but because of Covid-19 we had to go Virtual and Raised over 1k Also the 6th Bootblack Round Up we were Virtual again raising over 1K again for GLSEN.


The 7th Bootblack Round Up (Oct 14-16th 2022) will be in Baltimore MD and will be in Person and somewhat Virtual and will be 18+ and will be at a Convention Center so will offically be a Hotel Event!!!
