Our 50/50 raffle was won by Sandy Wilkerson who generously donated back the her share of the pot.  Our expanded silent auction was a big hit this year as well as our new merchandise.

We were happy that several of our Angel families were able to spend the evening with us either visiting, playing poker or volunteering.

All of this is made possible by our generous poker tournament sponsors:  Trailways, Quad Cities RiverBandits, Quad-City Times, United Way Women’s Leadership Council, JMS Transportation, Precision Construction, Ehrecke Construction, Dale’s Service Center, US Bank, Petersen Plumbing & Heating, Hayman’s Westside Ace Hardware, GCP Farms, S & J Sanitation, Carpetland USA, Truck Country, Grandma & Grandpa Sherwood and Grandma & Grandpa Rogers.

We’d also like to recognize our tournament committee:  Delia Dreifurst, Keely Byars, Stacy Motley, Staci Molony, Letty Beserra and Penny Knock.  You made our night a huge success.

Our mission is to help young families suffering the terrible loss of their baby with the financial burden of burying their child. Kennedi’s Kisses helps baby angels go to heaven first class!

Kennedi’s Kisses will help families who lose a child under one year of age and who need assistance with the costs of burying and memorializing their child.

Approximately 40 babies under one year of age pass away each year in Scott and Rock Island counties. Families rarely have life insurance on babies, and as you can imagine, these young families aren’t prepared to cover the significant expenses associated with losing their child. If they don’t have family that can assist them, they may have to go into debt for funeral expenses.

At this terrible hour, they don’t need another burden to carry on top of the crushing emotional trauma they are experiencing.
