PLEASE NOTE: We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time if possible to allow for parking and event check-in.
The Hamilton Collection will be on full display from 8am-4pm. However, to get into The Hamilton Collection tent, filled with tens of millions of dollars worth of super-cars and hyper-cars, one person in your party must either donate blood or be an event volunteer.
Once inside the tent, The Hamilton Collection team will help you with photo opps, and perhaps you might even get the chance to rev an engine or two!
In addition to showing off the cars, one lucky winner will have the opportunity to invite 4 friends to dinner with The Hamilton Collection team. Each person will get to drive or ride in one of the cars to a local restaurant of the winner’s choice. You can read more about that prize and how to enter to win it here.
The Hamilton Collection motto is “Driven To Give Back”, and they are committed to never profiting off of this privately-owned collection. They provide unparalleled access to rare vehicles and help raise money for various charities in the process. Each month they donate the proceeds from their YouTube channel to a different charity.
In April, Disney+ released a show starring Jeremy Renner called “Rennervations”. In each episode, Jeremy and his team renovate and repurpose a vehicle to give to a charity.
The first episode features an amazing Chicago organization based in West Garfield Park called The Base.
This organization will be bringing their music studio bus out to the event for people to tour. Also, the singer Jamison Martin who is featured in that episode will be performing sets throughout the day near the bus.
The BASE Chicago re-imagines pathways to success for urban youth by combining sports and academic opportunities with a distinctive methodology rooted in excellence, belief and love. The organization provides a range of programming including academic/STEM tutoring, violence prevention and life skills, healthy lifestyle guidance and high-quality baseball and softball skills training. You can learn more about them HERE and can support their amazing programs by purchasing merchandise at their STORE.
If you have not watched the first episode of “Rennervations” on Disney+, we highly recommend you watch it before stopping by so you can learn more about the bus will be able to tour at the event!
Check out these amazing vendors who will be serving food throughout the day. Most food trucks require you to put down a deposit for a minimum guarantee, but all of our vendors waive that for our event to support A Pint For Kim. So please support these amazing restaurants who add so much fun to the day. Even if you only have 15 minutes between sporting events that day, feel free to drop in and grab lunch!
One of the most unique parts of our event is the drawing we have each year with over 100 items donated by businesses, families, and other charities.
Each blood donor and event volunteer gets 10 tickets to our annual drawing. This year we have over $35,000 in donated prizes! This is just an added fun incentive to encourage blood donors to come out and save lives!
As an organization that does not raise money, we also do not sell any extra tickets, so your odds of winning are really high!
*Additional details, rules, and information on picking up your prize (winners need not be present) can be found HERE.
We have a fun new addition this year! An amazing group of businesses, charities, and the Naperville North High School Wheel Dawgs Volunteer Group will be setting up a row of tents. Each group will either be giving away something fun or will be setting up a neat activity! Like everything with A Pint For Kim, everything in this section is completely free! We simply hope to add more fun to the day to continue to attract more and more blood donors every year!

When Kim was in the hospital at Edward Hospital, she received many visits from hospital therapy dogs. Starting at the very first blood drive in March 2020, these dogs and their owners have visited the blood drives to provide love and comfort.

As an organization that only hosts blood drives and seeks to raise awareness, not money, that puts us in a bit of a tricky situation when it comes to our annual Mother’s Day Weekend drive. This massive event comes at a significant cost. We could not possibly be more grateful to the amazing business, families, and charities who sign up as event sponsors to provide the resources that are needed to make this event happen!
In addition to our event sponsors, many companies provide discounts and in-kind donations, and we are so grateful to them, too, as this event would not be possible without all of the people who recognize what we are trying to do and support our mission and Kim’s vision.
We kindly ask that you take a moment to look at our EVENT SPONSORS and our PRIZE DONORS. They do this out of the kindness of their heart without asking for a single thing in return, so if you ever have the opportunity to patron or support any of these groups, we would be extremely grateful!
