Making an Impact: Caring for Kids 2025

Last week, our 47th Annual Caring for Kids campaign concluded, and we want to thank all the team members and guests who once again came together to raise money for children’s hospitals and charities across our footprint! Year after year, you floor us with your generosity!

2025 Caring for Kids Total 

For this year’s campaign, we’re excited to announce that we raised $365,489 for 24 local children’s hospitals, bringing our grand total to more than $12 million raised since 1979!

In addition to our guests and team members, we’d like to say a huge “Thank You!” to our generous partners, especially Neighborhood Ford Store. Their donation of a 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend helped us raise more than $120,000 through raffle ticket sales.   

Santa came early for Ernest from Glenshaw, the lucky winner of that brand-new Ford Bronco, who purchased his ticket at the Waterworks Eat'n Park! Congratulations!  

Who Caring for Kids Benefits 

Each year, Caring for Kids benefits over a dozen hospitals thanks to our team members and guests across the 11 states in which we do business. This year was no different!   

Our largest donation benefits UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and we were proud to present that contribution live on the KDKA Free Care Fund Telethon.   

The efforts of our team members outside of the Greater Pittsburgh Area stretched from Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland, ME to Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago, IL, and many others in between!  

Thank You!  

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to Caring for Kids. You truly make a difference in our communities!
