Chicago Kids Day is a celebration of children’s health and wellness! Our mission is to create a fun and entertaining way to educate and teach kids about health and safety. This family event is a community effort put on by real people who work in the community.

Dr. Sarah Weber and StarEvents have teamed up to present this one of a kind event geared toward educating kids on health, safety and wellness in a fun and entertaining way! This year’s event will benefit Purple Asparagus. Purple Asparagus educates children, families, and the community about eating that’s good for the body and the planet. In the 2017-18 school year, over 1,000 students in 16 Chicagoland schools will receive Purple Asparagus’ nutrition education program, Delicious Nutritious Adventures. Special thanks to our 2018 top sponsor, State Farm’s, Diane Morado.
