A single bold idea turns into a crowded room full of energy, hope, purpose, and yes, fun, hilarity and mischief. This is the annual Varner Foundation for Children and Families

“Bringing Home a Win” Fundraiser. 

Although the mission has proven to be one-of-a-kind, it is straightforward: To raise money to provide resources for critical unfunded needs for children in Foster and Kinship Care who have been wounded by neglect or abuse.  

Since 2021, the Foundation has done just that for 3,387 kids! When everyone else said “no”, the Varner Foundation said “yes” we will help. 

Everything from portable oxygen for an infant born prematurely in opioid withdrawal, to a custom car seat for a child with a physical disability, to simpler needs like a triple bunkbed so the foster family can care for “just one more” child that needs a home.

This year’s Bringing Home a Win Fundraiser at Xavier's Cintas Center marks the beginning of the 6th year of turning community generosity into immediate life altering

change for a foster or a kinship child. 

Please join us on October 3rd from 6pm to 11pm for not just a gourmet dinner, stocked bar, some of the best music Cincinnati has to offer, and one- of-a-kind programming. 

Jump into the mix with some of Cincinnati's most recognizable faces and voices from radio, TV, and sports! There will be “laugh out loud adult” games and challenges that will keep you on your feet all night long providing chances to win prizes, event tickets, and never before auctioned items.
