Description

Save the date for KID’s annual Best Friend Award (BFA) Night on Thursday, May 26, 2022, from 6-8:30pm CT at the Gleacher Center in Chicago for our vaccinated guests. The event will also be live-streamed for those who can’t attend in person. The BFA Night marks our progress, honors the memory of Danny and other victims of unsafe children’s products, and celebrates champions of children’s safety. The BFA Night is KID’s primary annual fundraising event and the proceeds support our lifesaving programs year-round.

We were delighted this year to honor Parents Against Tip-Overs (PAT). The organization consists of parents of young children who have lost their lives from a furniture tip-over incident, and has been a true ally over the years to push for changes in child product safety. PAT’s mission to strengthen tip-over prevention through advocacy work and by educating others has played a significant role in advancing The STURDY Act, and getting the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to move forward with a strong rule that will make dressers safer.

Join us for a fun evening with drinks and small bites from Wolfgang Puck Catering, live music, wine toss, auction, and raffle.
