On Nov 8th, 2023 Kenosha Area Family & Aging Services, Inc. (KAFASI held its annual Bowls and Bakers competition at the Parkway Chateau, and all we can say is WOW!!!!

COMMUNITY, FRIENDS, PARTNERSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS, and TEAM are other words to use that summed up yesterday as well, and what an event yesterday was with all these things present! The fundraiser, we are told, is the largest ever, getting to the point of standing room only! We can’t thank everyone involved enough, from our soup vendors to the volunteers and staff who helped out, and of course, the community who came to enjoy all the deliciousness the day had to offer.

Special thanks again to all of our Soup Vendors and our sponsors! Huge thanks to our friends at Dooley & Associates, Pillar Health, and Kenosha Community Health Center for their beautiful donation/sponsorship of Soup Bowls to support our event. Everyone loved them and we can’t thank you enough for your friendship and partnership! Dooley & Associates also created and designed our Logo and Marketing for the event! If you are an agency looking to partner with great people on Marketing, Website, and Design work, look no further than Dooley! We simply Love Them!

Thanks to all my non-profit friends and community partners for coming out United Way of Kenosha County and Shalom Center of the Interfaith Network and so many others, and of course our very own Miss Kenosha Willow Newell who Blessed us with her presence!
