Big Top Productions is one of One For the Kids most loyal sponsors providing tents and stages for the OFTK Golf Outing every year. Big Top manufactures its products right here in North Chicago. It was begun modestly, when Art Leonard working for his father’s awning company at the time, made a tent for a client; who never picked it up. He began to rent that very tent and eventually quit is job and began renting tents full-time. Big Top has grown to become the tent provider for the Taste of Chicago and all Chicago Festivals for the last 20 years.
Big Top is no stranger to charity; they are also partnered with Special Children’s Charities to provide tents for the Polar Plunge at North Ave Beach, the Anniversary event at Soldier Field and countless other events. Big Top General Manager Brian Mohrmann’s only complaint about our Golfing Outing is, "That it is always scheduled on the same week as the Air and Water Show, so I have been unable to join in the fun. I always hear stories afterwards that make me sad I didn’t make it.” Biran has made it to the cocktail party though!
