Caring For Kids Results & Car Winner!

The results are in! Our team members have wrapped up our annual Caring for Kids campaign, with results that are nothing short of amazing.

In a mere five weeks, we raised...

$421,645!

This total is the highest in the history of Caring for Kids, and given the fact that this campaign has now been going strong for 34 years, that’s saying a lot!

No words can express our gratitude to all of the guests and team members who opened their wallets and their hearts for such a great cause. This campaign truly makes a difference in the lives of local children who are being treated at these hospitals.

The following hospitals benefited from this year’s campaign:

Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Of UPMC
Akron Children’s Hospital of the Mahoning Valley
Children’s Medical Center of Akron
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Columbus Children’s Hospital Foundation
DuBois Regional Medical Center
Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Medical Center
Geisinger Health System
Indiana Regional Medical Center
Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital
St. Vincent Health System
University of Virginia Children’s Hospital
West Virginia University Children’s Hospital

Of course, Caring for Kids wouldn’t be nearly so successful without the generous contributions of our partners. The Neighborhood Ford Store once again donated a car – a 2013 Ford Escape – to be raffled off to one lucky winner. Brendan Dawson of Cheswick, PA got a special holiday surprise on Wednesday when his ticket was drawn by a patient at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. Congratulations, Brendan!

Other partners who made significant contributions to the campaign include:

• Sheetz, Inc.

• Nestle Professional Vitality

• Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

• KDKA Radio

• KDKA-TV

Thank you for your support!

Congratulations 2013 Ford Escape Winner!

Congratulations to the winner of our 2012 Caring for Kids vehicle raffle! The lucky winner of the 2013 Ford Escape- so generously donated by the Neighborhood Ford Store- is Brendan Dawson of Cheswick, PA.

Brendan's winning ticket (number 030773) was randomly selected from more than 77,000 tickets purchased to benefit Eat'n Park's Caring for Kids Campaign. Mr. Dawson will be receiving the keys to his new vehicle in the upcoming weeks.

Congratulations, Brendan!

Bonus Cards Are Back!

The holidays are here and if you are like me, you are trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. You’ve got the mailman, the babysitter, the teacher, and many more. So what do you get those people? Eat’n Park gift cards!

And for a limited time, you’ll get a FREE $5 bonus card with every $25 in Eat’n Park gift card purchases at our restaurants. It’s like a reward for being such a great gift-giver! Bonus cards are valid from January 1 through March 31, 2013. So you have a full three months to use them!

You’ll get one $5 bonus card for every $25 in gift card purchases, regardless of the denomination. So, if you buy five $5 cards, you’ll get one bonus card. Buy $100 worth of gift cards, and you’ll get four $5 bonus cards. You get the picture.

But here’s the catch: We only have a limited supply of bonus cards, and we can’t make substitutions. So when they’re gone, they’re gone! Stop in to your local Eat’n Park today to get yours, then relax – holiday gift-giving doesn’t get any easier than this!

* Bonus cards are only available at Eat’n Park restaurant locations. This offer is not available with online gift card orders. Bonus cards may be redeemed one per check from January 1 – March 31, 2013. Multiple bonus cards cannot be redeemed on the same check.
