Kids Above All's Annual Celebration Dinner
Kids Above All’s 2023 Annual Celebration Dinner will be on Thursday, November 9 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago. Stay tuned for more details.
Kids Above All’s Annual Celebration Dinner is our signature fundraiser held each fall. This fun, impactful event celebrates the accomplishments and growth of young people in our care, recognizes distinguished business or civic leaders who have helped us place the safety, well-being and education of kids above all else, and raises funds to directly support our kids.

Each year, top local comedians take the stage at Kids Above All’s Stand Up For Kids Comedy Night to raise funds and awareness about Kids Above All’s programs and impact in the community. The evening includes the show, open bar and heavy appetizers, and fun raffle items.

Each year, Kids Above All holds our Holiday Gift Drive, partnering with individuals, businesses, churches and other community organizations to bring holiday cheer to 1,500 kids in our care. During the drive, we collect new toys, clothes, books and gift cards to make sure our kids experience the joy of the holidays.
