MISSION STATEMENT
One for the Kids was established in 1993 by a group of concerned individuals who wanted to make a difference. Our first event was held at Old Oaks Golf course and raised a few thousand dollars. Since that time we have raised over $350,000 for several different charities. All our charities benefit children of the Chicagoland area and our main contribution each year is made to Special Children's Charities of Chicago.

OUR DONATIONS HELP OTHERS
Special Children's Charities of Chicago is the fundraising organization of Chicago Special Olympics. Special Olympics provide a competitive forum for thousands of special athletes here in Chicago every year. Both were founded in 1969 for athletes competing in everything from gymnastics to tennis, basketball to track and field.

Benton Community Settlement carries a proud tradition that can be found in the smiles of our children, the competitive nature of our young adults, and the satisfaction and appreciation that abounds in the sentiment of our seniors. We are a not-for-profit settlement home that has operated for over 90 years with many children's programs but few funds. The programs offered include, but are not limited to: Summer Day Camp, Kiddie Time (pre-school program), Begin again Moms, Father & Son Floor Hockey, Saturday Play Camp, and Storytime.

HELPING HAND
Advocate Hope Children's Hospital, on the campus of Christ Hospital and Medical Center in Oak Lawn, is the first children's hospital to be built in the Chicagoland area for over 30 years. This state-of-the-art pediatric facility is designed to provide care to children of all ages, while at the same time address the impact illness and hospitalization can have on the family as a whole.

The hospital boasts the largest pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery program in Illinois and is one of the largest in the nation. It is also the only Acute Care children's hospital with inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services.

In addition, Hope Children's Hospital demonstrates community involvement and leadership through eleven parent support groups, the shelter for Domestic Violence, a Head Start free clinic, an Inner City School Adoption Program and much, much more.

Since it opened its doors in November 1996, Hope Children's Hospital has been operating at full capacity -- providing medical services to over 40,000 children.
