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 $445,400 last year.

Caring for Kids, even in its 39th 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.

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.

One Day, One Dollar: On Saturday, December 2, we have a goal to raise $10,000 for our Caring for Kids Campaign in one day! Help us stopping by to enjoy fun in-restaurant activities and adding a $1 donation to your check!

Ford Car Raffle: Our generous friends at Neighborhood Ford Store have donated a 2018 Ford Escape to our campaign! You can buy a chance (or ten) to win for only $2 each. All proceeds benefit Caring for Kids.

Enhancing the lives of our military, veterans and their families is one of the three focus areas of our philanthropic efforts. This year, we’re happy to announce that in addition to supporting organizations dedicated to serving veterans, we’ll also be offering a 10% discount to all former and current military for the entire month of November.


Proof of service is required for this discount, so please be prepared to show your Military ID or your Veteran Designation on your driver’s license. We will also extend this promotion to service members who arrive in uniform. The discount will be applied to any meals on the same check.

While this offer cannot be combined with any other coupon offer or discount, it can be used with our free coffee promotion for voters on Election Day on Tuesday, November 7.


In our ongoing efforts to provide support for veterans, we are also sponsoring the training for our furry friend, Parker, from Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs. Service dogs help to mitigate the challenges many veterans face, including PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, glucose imbalance, mobility issues, and more.
