Jump-a-thon

This past Friday night was our first Brighton-Kennedy Foundation jump-a-thon! Our goal was to raise awareness & a bit of money, and to celebrate the foundation's kick-off. We did all of that, and had big fun too!


The mission of the BKF is to fight for Africa, one orphan at a time. Our first main initiative is to send formula to orphanages in Ethiopia to help end the extreme lack of nutrition. Funds raised on Friday will help us to do that! We decided to let our jumper open up one of her Christmas presents early for the event. We thought it only appropriate that she sport her new (crazy soft) 147 million orphans shirt.
(I am hoping there is another one of these under the tree for me this year.)

We just had to take a test slide with the BKF littles before all the other jumpers arrived.

A friend of Katie's made this awesome donation jar for the Brighton-Kennedy Foundation.

At the end of the night, both the littles and the bigs were worn out from all the jumping fun. We are very grateful for those who came out to support the foundation. Your donations will help feed little orphans in Ethiopia who desperately need better nutrition.

Special shout out to our buds Pete and Julie, Lisa, Trish, Ashley, Kari, Terry B. and kids for coming. Thanks as well to Amy, Jessica, Patti and Kari for making treats to sell. We are blessed to call you friends!

We hope you have checked out the Brighton-Kennedy Foundation website. We'll take donations of formula, granola bars, or money. You can also join our team of runners. We hope you'll find a way to join us in the fight.
