[New Dates TBD] Due to COVID-19, we’re postponing our event to Fall 2020. We still plan to have it at the beautiful Chicago Cultural Center. Stay tuned for more details. Enjoy tastings from great Chicago chefs and restaurants, raffle drawing, wine toss, and more.

Will you donate a gift to be used for our fundraising event’s raffle or auction?

KID is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children by fighting for product safety. From providing life-saving information to parents and caregivers, training tomorrow’s engineers in design safety and advocating for child safety, KID is dedicated to keeping children safe. Each year, KID commemorates our progress, honors the memory of Danny Keysar and other victims of unsafe children’s products and honors champions of children’s safety at our Annual KID Best Friend Award Night. The KID Best Friend Award Night brings together community leaders, safety advocates, families and KID supporters. The funds raised at this event allow us to continue our valuable outreach and provide a strong voice for safety. We are thrilled to be honoring Danny & Anne Shapiro for 20 years of commitment to KID and children’s product safety.

We are looking for donations for our raffle and auction for our event that also features an engaging program and small plates from chefs and restaurants around Chicago. It is KID’s premier fundraising event and the proceeds support our lifesaving programs year-round.  

A highlight of the evening is our Live Auction and Raffle Basket Drawing. The prizes are highlighted and displayed throughout the evening and our guests always enjoy the auction and drawing.  Please consider donating an item to be auctioned off or spotlighted in one of our elaborate raffle baskets. We would be honored to have your support! 

We hope that you will support the KID Best Friend Award Night. I’d be happy to talk to you more about our plans for the auction and raffle and ways we can highlight your donation. Please complete the attached form. We are excited for this year’s event and hope you can be a part of our success. 

We are grateful for your support.

P.S. Please also consider an ad in our digital program book showing on screens throughout the event.  Ads are ½ price for raffle and auction donors. See the form for more information.
