Programs

Can't Use Your Ticket? is our trademark program and it's about redistributing your unused tickets.

When you "Can't Use Your Ticket?" We Can!

We work in partnership with entertainment organizations, concert promoters, special event organizers, theatre groups, sporting groups, to ensure that empty seats are filled with kids that could really benefit.

Having seats sit empty at any event, is a lost opportunity for a child in need. Kids Up Front redistributes unused tickets fairly and efficiently through its partnerships with local child-serving charitable agencies. There is never a charge for this partnership. 

The positive impacts are enormous. Kids are dreaming the "possible," experiencing interaction with their peers and having the opportunity to bond with their families.

Kids Count! is an event-based program that provides kids with opportunities that can have life-long impact. These events are done in partnership with corporations and individual donors, wishing to help us make a difference in their lives.

Giving kids an opportunity to participate in activities and achieve their goals, while learning how to work with one another builds trust, self-esteem and confidence -- skills that are essential for a healthy, balanced life.

We know our programs are making a difference. For some, it's been the thrill of attending their first-ever hockey game. For others it marks a turning point in their lives.

c) Host a special "signature" event, like a skating party, Christmas party or picnic in the park (the possibilities are only limited by your imagination!) Leave it to Kids Up Front, or jump right in and help us organize it. This is part of our Kids Count! program.
