2012 Caring For Kids Kickoff at Eat'n Park

Since 1979, Eat'n Park guests and team members have united to do some serious fundraising for five weeks every November and December. That's right - it's time for Caring for Kids!  Through this campaign, we’ve raised more than $8 million for our local children’s hospitals, but we’re not stopping now!

Our 34th annual Caring For Kids Campaign kicked off on Friday and we’ve got lots of fun opportunities for you to help support the kids this year!

$2 Raffle Tickets - 2013 Ford Escape

Our generous partner, The Neighborhood Ford Store, has kindly donated a 2013 Ford Escape to the campaign - so one lucky guest is going to be taking home a pretty nice Christmas present!
You could win this new 2013 Ford Escape!
Raffle tickets are available for just $2 each at every Eat'n Park location. Just ask your server for one (or 10!) for your chance to win. 100% of the proceeds from the raffle go directly to the campaign.

For full details and raffle restrictions, click here. 

Christmas Star Merchandise

This holiday season marks an important milestone at Eat’n Park:  the 30th anniversary of the Christmas Star commercial! This beloved commercial captures the true spirit of the season, as well as the spirit of Caring for Kids: helping others in their time of need.


To help us raise money for our Caring for Kids campaign, 10% of proceeds from all Christmas Star merchandise will go to Caring for Kids. You'll find mugs, magnets and ornaments at every Eat'n Park location. In addition, restaurants that normally carry apparel will be featuring Christmas Star long sleeve t-shirts!

Stop in to pick yours up today - we have limited quantities!

Restaurant Activities

Every year, our team members pour their hearts into this campaign. Many of them donate their time (and sometimes, their tips) to organizing special events at our restaurants.

You may be familiar with our Tips for Tots nights, in which our team members and local celebrities donate the evening's tips to the campaign. Events like these are fun for everyone, and of course, they benefit a great cause.

We'll be updating the schedule of events every week, so check back often to see what's happening at your local Eat'n Park!  Click here to see our most updated schedule.

BackPack For Kids Program

As part of our LifeSmilesTM initiative, we recently donated $5,000 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank for their BackPack for Kids Program. At the beginning of every school year, the program provides a new backpack and a can opener to children at risk for hunger. Then, once a week throughout the year, the kids’ backpacks are refilled with enough nutritious food for six full meals. They receive items like applesauce, soup, vegetables, cereal, and many other items to help them get through the weekend.

Our Check Presentation
In addition to our donation,  we also took some of our team members to volunteer and stuff backpacks. It was a really neat experience, and we stuffed over 600 backpacks!
