Did you know April is National Volunteer Month? Chuck E. Cheese is ramping up for NVM with a nationwide fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sister of America. Every single Chuck E. Cheese location across the country will donate 15% of sales from 3-9 p.m. on 3/31 to BBBS when guests mention the organization.
They’re also doing a donation drive throughout April, where families can donate $1, $5 or any amount of their choice to help BBBS match “Littles” with “Big” mentors.
When kids donate, they get to write their name on a Pin-Up ticket (picture below) and stick it on the wall to show their support.
I use to LOVE going to Chuck E. Cheese as a kid. And I love that they are giving back to a great organization. This is a great way for parents to talk to their kids about giving back in a way that isn’t too jarring. Trying to explain why it’s important to help some charities - like homeless shelters or cancer support groups - can be a little scary for kids when you get into the details, but it’s easy to talk about how BBBS matches kids (who might be having a hard time) with really nice, smart grown-ups to help them make good choices.

My kids right now are a little young for the talk also Autistic But I would love to take my kids to Chuck E Cheese in April
ReplyDeleteI always like to try to teach my son to be kind and be helpful. My son loves to go and play games at ChuckE Cheese.
ReplyDeleteThe kids help go through the cupboards and their clothes and toys to donate. We would love to go to Chuck E Cheese.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has always been encouraged to give back. We have always participated in fundraiser walks and things. She is now 10 and 3 days a week she gives up her recess and volunteers to go and play with the kids in the special needs room at her school and has done so for 2 years. This would be a great reward for her to go to Chuck E Cheeses with a friend and have a good time.
ReplyDeleteI've always believed that I am blessed and need to help when I can. I passed this on through my actions of giving and explaining why to them. I plan to take my grandkids to Chuck E. Cheese.

ReplyDeleteWe donate food to our local food bank and clothing to the Big Brother Big Sisters Foundation. We have 3 kids under 6 and have never taken them to Chuck E Cheese, but I have fond memories of going there as a kid and would love to bring them in April when my youngest turns 2.
ReplyDeleteI take my youngest grandson along when I bring donations in and all of our kids and grand kids are invited to participate in giving opportunities and special food drives.

ReplyDeleteI know I personally don't talk enough about giving back when I'm with the kids. I know that they know what donating means because we do donate some of their toys. They would love to go to Chuck E Cheese next month :)
ReplyDeleteI teach my children that if they see someone less fortunate, give them something that you don't need. My daughter displays that every year at Easter egg hunts. She always gives eggs to kids who did not get a lot. We would love to go to Chuck E Cheese next month.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I have volunteered to do a bell ringing for an organization for people who are homeless--we talk about giving back a lot.

ReplyDeleteWe teach our children what it means to give back by doing it with them. We want them to experience the giving so they understand the benefits of that rather than the benefits of receiving.

I have a teenager that is very involved in community service. The two younger girls want to follow her everywhere she goes! So they help in the community garden, at Church, school functions, etc. I take those times to praise them and to explain to them WHY we are participating.

trying to explain to my son the benefit of earning his student service learning hours
ReplyDeleteWe do while talking, so they can see and while doing, understand more how important it is to share our blessings.
ReplyDeleteWe don't "give back", per se, but we make sure that each of our actions positively affect the environment around us. Example: Pack It In, Pack It Out when we camp.
ReplyDeleteI offered my kids an incentive to bring home better grades than I asked for. My youngest wants to go to Chuck E Cheese's as his reward. And he did it!
My granddaughter wants to go to Chuck E Cheese. She always helps raise money at school and church for people in need.
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren go with me to the local nursing home on the weekends to visit with residents that have few visitors. They love the kids and the kids love them. We discuss the joy they are bringing to others by just being friends. I'd love to take them to Chuck E Cheese.
