Join us for the Tenth Annual Kickoff 4 Kids event! “Sport” your favorite football jersey and enjoy an evening of tailgate-style food and brews from a variety of different restaurants, micro-breweries, and distilleries from Central New York.

The night kicks off with a sampling of food and drinks from each vendor. Attendees are welcome to vote for their favorites along with a panel of celebrity judges. Past judges include former Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro, Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Jon Seeber, Onondaga County Comptroller Robert Antonacci, CNY Central’s Molly Matott, Spectrum News’ Mark Larson, Syracuse City Court Judge Hon. James Cecile and MRCAC Board Member Joseph Silino.

The winners of the best tailgate food and brews will be announced at the end of the night. Proceeds from Kickoff 4 Kids directly benefit our center, allowing us to provide services and a path to healing for over 1,500 sexually or physically abused children in Onondaga County each year.
