Our 2018 Caring For Kids Campaign is Here!

The time has come for our annual Caring for Kids campaign! Every November and December since 1979, our guests and team members have united to do some serious fundraising to help benefit local children’s hospitals across our Eat’n Park Hospitality Group footprint. Since the start of our campaign, we have raised over $10 million in total contributions for these hospitals and want to keep that momentum going! Here’s how you can help:


$2 Raffle Tickets – 2018 Ford EcoSport

Our generous partner, Neighborhood Ford Store, has kindly donated a 2018 Ford EcoSport 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.

Holiday Merchandise 

10% of proceeds from all holiday merchandise will go to our Caring for Kids campaign. At every Eat’n Park location, you’ll find mugs featuring our classic Christmas Star commercial. In addition, select locations will also be featuring Christmas Star long sleeve adult t-shirts and adorable toddler Smiley Snowman garb! Find out where you can pick up this festive apparel here! 

Stop in to pick yours up today – they’re only available while supplies last!

Restaurant Activities 

Every year, our team members pour their hearts into this campaign. Many of them donate their talents and time to organizing special fundraising events inside and outside of our restaurants.

This season, you can look forward to Pictures with Princesses, basket raffles, visits from Santa, and many more unique events! We'll be updating the schedule of events every week on our blog, so check back often to see what's happening at your local Eat'n Park!
