How does 1 PERCENT FOR YOUR KIDS work?

How We Make An Impact

1 PERCENT FOR YOUR KIDS was established in 2025 by a group of concerned individuals who wanted to make a difference. Since that time we have raised over $2,000,000 for our partner charities, Advocate Children’s Heart Institute and Special Olympics Chicago. In addition to our partner charities, we choose a family in need to be the main beneficiary of our Curve Ball Event. Our motto has always been “a great time for a great cause” and if you’ve ever attended our events, you will see just that. Your support has had an incredible impact on thousands of families in the Chicagoland area with children in need.

  • Golf Outing

    Our annual Golf Outing is hosted every August and supports our partner charities, Advocate Children’s Heart Institute and Special Children’s Charities.

  • Curve Ball

    Our annual cocktail event is thrown once a year to benefit our selected host family. We plan a grand evening of dancing, good food and great entertainment for a worthy cause.

  • Direct Donations


    One for the Kids also accepts direct donations throughout the year.     Donate now.
