The One Time for the Kids benefit began five years ago and is annually held during the holiday season. Partners Tim Strasik, Nick DiNello and Dominic Pasquale began holding the event in order to raise money for local non-profits in the Youngstown community.

An annual charity event, One Time for the Kids Benefit, has been scheduled this year for December 14, 2018. The event is open to the public and will be held at The Embassy Banquet Centre at 5030 Youngstown-Poland Rd, Youngstown, OH 44514. The benefit will begin at 7pm and conclude at 11pm. This year’s proceeds will help benefit Northeast Ohio Adoption Services – provides adoption and foster care services to teens and school-age children in the child welfare system by recruiting, preparing, and supporting specialized families.

Tickets to this year’s event are available for presale or at the door. Pricing per ticket is set at $40 and will include a fully catered buffet by The Embassy, open bar including beer, wine and liquor, as well as DJ providing entertainment. The event will also feature multiple Chinese Auction items in addition to a 50/50 raffle drawing.
