This weekend we had the pleasure of being invited to Kazapalooza as this year's charity. Kazapalooza is a yearly gathering of families with children adopted from Kazakhstan that aims to unite families and raise money for Kazakhstan charities. The weekend was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the generous families! With your support we raised $2590 for our playground project.

Thank you to the following families for bringing donations to the event:

The Falk Family (IN)
The Hochstetler Family (IN)
The Wilons Famiy, especially Tamar who collected donations at her birthday party!
Muriel Collison and Christ United Methodist Church of Deerfield, Illinois for organizing a shoe drive and collecting 50 pairs of shoes!
The Printy Family for their unbelievable and very generous cash donation.
