Happy holidays from K4K!
Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving with all your loved ones and enjoying some good food in the process! It is tradition in my family that everyone goes around the table and tells what they are thankful for, so I am going to continue that tradition here. I am thankful for all of you.
2 years ago I had an idea to take a few soccer balls with me to Kenya to give away to some kids. I had no long term goals in mind just wanted a few balls. Two years later I cannot believe what that idea has turned into and it is all because of your constant help and support! Nothing that we have done would have been possible without you guys, I mean that and can't say thank you enough! We love what we do and hope to continue doing it for a long time! Thanks again and happy holidays!

Shirts should be on the website in the next couple of weeks just in time for the holiday season! Proceeds from the shirts are going to be going towards shipping equipment over to the Peace Corps based in Kenya for a soccer program they are up and running....huge opportunity for us to make a difference so please please please help us out and get a sweet shirt at the same time! I know you want to do it!
Also we have a couple cool cats doing some fundraisers to help get the equipment to send over to the peace corps so lets give some big ups to them! Thanks guys!
Also K4K is on Twitter and we only have 140 followers so if your on Twitter jump on that bandwagon! Our name is @Kicks4kenya

Dates are set!
Well we officially have the details laid out for our trip this winter. The dates are going to be dec 18-jan 3rd! We are teaming up with maishia international orphanage in Nairobi to host a soccer tournament in the slums of the capital. After that we will be moving about 4 hours north to Nakuru to build a soccer field and community center with the Nakuru Baby Orphanage.
This will be by far the biggest project for k4k but we are very excited about it! We would love for you to join us in trying to make a difference for the young people of kenya! We will need your financial support for the logistics of shipping equipment over and rebuilding the soccer field. We also need everything from jereseys and balls to whistles and cones!
If you are involved with a club or high school soccer team or know of someone that is this is a great time to get involved. We would love for you to get involved with our Teams4Teams program or even just have an equipment drive and collect old equipment. We would love to get a lot of people involed with these projects!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to shoot me and email and I will respond as quickly as possible! Once again thank you for the support and looking forward to a productive summer!

A special date and a special project
Hope this blog post finds everyone in good shape! Things have really been good for us lately....very busy. It was 3 years ago this month (don't remember the exact day) that the idea Kicks4Kenya was created. Hard to believe how far things have progressed in such a short amount of time....thank you so much for all your help!! None of it would be possible without your support!!
On that note we have a special project planned for our december 09 trip to Kenya. We are going to be teaming up with the nakuru baby orphanage that we stayed with on our last trip to build a community rec center in the nakuru city center! This complex will not only include a soccer field, but also basketball courts, playgrounds, and much more! This truly is a great opportunity to help an entire community of children!
Obviously the cost of this project will be substantial so we are starting our fundraisers now. We are working with coffeeXperts.com selling coffee to raise the money. Each 1 LB bag of coffee is only $12 and 2 LB bags are $24. So tell all your coffee drinking friends to order their coffee through this great company! This is an ongoing fundraiser as well....so if you run out go and order some more! drink some coffee and help make a difference! So go to our special link on their website and get your coffee today!

Also our first set of t shirts will be on the website soon so keep an eye out for those. Thanks again for all your supprt and allowing us to do what we do!!
