The Scott Family

Sammy Scott (9) suffers from a rare genetic condition called Shashi-Pena Syndrome which is caused by a mutation of the ASXL2 gene. Sammy is one of 50 known people in the world with this condition. He is also hyperinsulinemia where his body produces too much insulin. He needs blood sugar checks throughout the day and must use his feeding tube continuously at night. In addition to these, he has ADHD and sensory deficiencies. Sammy has already had 2 open heart surgeries, had a brain tumor resection and suffers from very severe seizures. Although he is 9 years old, Sammy has the cognitive skills of a 2 to 3 year old and the future is very unknown. Sammy is lucky to have an incredible support system at home – his parents, Sarah + Shawn and siblings, Summer and Shepherd. The Scott family needs our help.

About the Curve Ball

About the Curve Ball

Since the beginning, One for the Kids has relished the curve ball. Be it our slightly irreverent tagline, a great time for a great cause, or the fact that our original logo was designed on a cocktail napkin, we haven't exactly been cookie cutter.

Reveling in the unexpected is quintessential One for the Kids. Curve balls at our golf outing have become legendary. They have ranged from skydivers to a mechanical bull and from the Heisman Trophy to a dunk tank. The Curve Ball is a very fun opportunity to give back to Chicago-area charities and a local family in need.

We have two exciting raffles the night of the event! The Chuck-a-Duck split the pot is one not to be missed Purchase 1 duck for $20 or 7 ducks for $100. You can also buy tickets for a chance to win a $1,000 Southwest airline gift card + $1,000 in travel expenses!

Our Partner Charities

Advocate Children’s Heart Institute

The Advocate Children’s Heart Institute (ACHI) began in 1987 with pediatric cardiologists from the University of Chicago, Northwestern and Loyola Universities and Children’s Memorial Hospital. This amazing group of dedicated physicians felt that they could provide optimal care for their pediatric patients in a differently structured environment. They created ACHI, now a nationally renowned center on the Oak Lawn, IL campus of Advocate Christ Medical Center and Advocate Children’s Hospital (now on both the Oak Lawn and Park Ridge, IL campuses).

Special Children’s Charities

Special Children’s Charities was founded in 1969 to fund special recreation programs administered by the Chicago Park District, which later expanded to Chicago Public Schools and other agencies throughout the city. Special Children’s Charities currently develops and funds a wide range of recreational, educational and social activities that encourage physical and mental health for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, ensuring that all individuals have access to high-quality programming.
