FAQ About Our Caring For Kids Campaign

What is Caring for Kids? 

Caring for Kids is an annual, five-week long fundraising campaign for children’s hospitals across our restaurant footprint. What started in 1979 from the passion of one team member at one restaurant has now grown into a company-wide effort, which raised $470,000 last year. This year marks a significant milestone in the history of the campaign, as we expect to surpass $10 million in total contributions since the start of Caring for Kids!

Caring for Kids, even in its 38th year, continues to be a campaign driven by the heart of our team members. This is why, restaurant to restaurant, each campaign looks a little different from the rest. We will keep you updated on the campaign events happening near you, so be sure to check back often. Your support will go a long way to help the kids in children’s hospitals in your region.

Caring for Kids Buzz Words

Here are the most popular ways our restaurants fundraise for the campaign.

Tips for Tots: During a designated time period, local celebrities join forces with our servers, and the tips they earn from our generous guests are donated to the campaign. Click here to see if your local Eat’n Park will be participating.

Rodeo Round-Up: If you happen to be dining at an Eat’n Park restaurant during this event, you will be encouraged to “round-up” your bill to the nearest dollar, donating the extra change to the campaign.

Santa Smileys: This is a quick and easy way to make a $1 pledge to Caring for Kids. Purchase a paper Santa Smiley for $1, write your name on it, and it will be hung in the restaurant throughout the campaign. Social media savvy? We’ll match your donation when you take a picture of your Smiley, tag it @Eatnpark, and post it to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #10MillionSmiles.

Ford Car Raffle: Our generous friends at Neighborhood Ford Store have donated a 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible to our campaign! You can buy a chance (or ten) to win for only $2 each. All proceeds benefit Caring for Kids.


When is Caring for Kids?

Caring for Kids begins on Friday, November 4 and ends on Sunday, December 11.

Our 2016 Caring For Kids Campaign Is Here!

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!  This year marks a significant milestone in our history, as we will surpass $10 million in total contributions since the inception of the campaign.

Our 38th Annual Caring for Kids campaign kicks off today and we’ve got lots of fun opportunities for you to help support us this year!

$2 Raffle Tickets – 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible

Our generous partner, Neighborhood Ford Store, has kindly donated a 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible to the campaign - so one lucky guest is going to be taking home a pretty sweet Christmas present!

Raffle tickets are available for just $2 each at all Eat'n Park locations. 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.


Holiday Merchandise

10% of proceeds from all Holiday merchandise will go to our Caring for Kids campaign. You'll find mugs featuring our classic Christmas Star commercial at every Eat'n Park location. In addition, restaurants that normally carry apparel will be featuring Christmas Star long sleeve adult 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!

Thanks in advance for supporting our campaign!
