Eat'n Park supports over 400 non-profit organizations each year through in-kind donations in the communities that we serve. In keeping with our LifeSmiles commitment and to make a greater impact through our giving, we focus on organizations and events that benefit children's health and wellness, as well as events that inspire families to make healthy choices. Below are our areas of focus for donations:
- Improving access to healthy, affordable foods in our local, under-served communities
- Increasing physical activity by supporting neighborhood walks, runs, and events
- Empowering parents and caregivers with healthy choices
- Providing healthy food in schools through impactful partnerships
Please note that Eat'n Park is not able to support individuals and for-profit businesses.
How do I request a donation for my non-profit event from Eat'n Park?
You can request a corporate-level donation through our Donation Request Form (see restaurant level donations below). If you are a first-time applicant, you will need to create an account using your email address. Returning applicants can sign in with their email address and chosen password.
In order to be considered for a corporate-level donation, you must submit your request at least 5 weeks before your deadline or event. Unfortunately, due to the tremendous number of requests that we receive at the restaurant and corporate level, we are unable to participate in all of the worthy opportunities presented to us.
To fairly support as many community organizations as we can, we are not able to donate Smiley Cookies to be resold. If you are interested in cookies or gift cards for fundraising, please see the information for Smiley Cookie Fundraising and Gift Card Fundraising by clicking here.
Once you have submitted your request, you will be notified via email when a decision has been made. We will respond to all requests within three weeks. If your request has been approved, further instruction on how to go about collecting the donation will also be sent via email.
How do I approach my local Eat'n Park for a donation?
Our managers take pride in being involved in their communities through supporting a variety of events on a local level. As a result, they are authorized to make ONE of the following donations per event:
- Up to 15 dozen cookies at 50% off
- Up to $10 in gift cards
- Up to 2 dozen cookies free
Non-profit organizations are eligible to receive a restaurant-level donation once per year. To be considered for one of these donations, please take a written request on your organization's letterhead to the general manager of your local Eat'n Park.
Restaurant managers reserve the right to deny donation requests, and organizations may receive only one donation per event per year. Requesting donations from multiple Eat'n Park locations for the same event is prohibited.
How do I request Smiley and/or the Cookie Cruiser to attend my event?
Smiley and his Cookie Cruiser love to visit events throughout our communities! You can request Smiley and/or the Cookie Cruiser for your event through our Smiley/Cruiser Request Form. This form must be submitted at least six weeks before your event.
We cannot finalize Smiley's schedule until three to four weeks prior to an event, so we'll respond to appearance requests at that time. Please note that Smiley does not make appearances at private events such as birthday parties and family reunions.
