Our Mission
Kids Up Front distributes tickets to arts, culture & sporting events to deserving kids and their families.
Get Involved!
IT’S EASY TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
How We Help
We provide entertainment, educational and recreational opportunities to children through the distribution of unused tickets and by creating special events that help to heal, bond and unite
Why We Do It
Many charitable organizations provide children and families with the basic essentials of food, shelter and clothing, whereas Kids Up Front provides nourishment for the spirit, another essential element in healthy development
How It Works
We receive ticket donations from entertainment organizations, corporations, and the public. We then allocate these tickets to our 100+ child-serving partner agencies where they distribute to the kids, youth, or families that need it most!
Our Vision
A World in Which All Kids Have Access to Enriching Experiences!
"I looked around and saw so many empty seats and I knew that those seats had been paid for and that those tickets were probably in somebody’s desk. I was determined to fill those seats with kids and their families that wouldn’t normally have a chance to go."
