Shake It For Kenzie..the to-do list and how you can help!
The Adult Prom is over (yes I have a blog I am just waiting for more pictures so I can add them) and now its time to move on to the next event. Yes I gave my day to relaxe. :)
The Shake It For Kenzie event is going to be a HUGE event. You do not want to miss out on this fun summer event. It's going to be super cheap for the fun enertainment you will get! $10 to get in.
Things we are working on right now. We are working on getting sponsorship for the event. We are looking on getting food for the event. We would really like to help out an orgnaization that is either close to Kenzie or a non profit organization (you know spread the wealth, right). We are looking for people that like to do face painting and sorts. We are trying to brainstorm other fun activities for kids and family. We already have a fun photo booth booked with the amazing Ashlie Tate. Search her on facebook to see her work. She really in amazing and has a huge heart!
Bands/solo acts if you are interested or plan on performing I need to know by mid May I will be get posters and tickets ordered so we can sell at the end of May. So if you would like you name out there I need to know then otherwise well I don't know what to tell you!
I am also looking for someone to help with inbetween the acts you know keep the crowd going. I'd love a comedian or something to get people laughing.
If you have any ideas, advice, questions, or anything at all please contact me.
best way to get ahold of me is e-mail. From there I can give you my phone number.
Please share this blog with all your friends. the more people that see this the bigger we can make this and the more we can raise awareness and money for Kids with Traumatic Injuries!!

Randomness
I haven't been blogging very much. And to be honest I haven't been seeing Kenzie much. Right now I am in the last stretch to make this Adult Prom Fund Raiser the best I can make it. On top of stressing over that I am still trying to get everything ready for the Shake it For Kenzie FUNd Raiser. I am shaking my head thinking how did I think I would be able to pull all of this off?
The Adult Prom is fun to do. The idea is simple and fun. The thing I stress about is the attendance and will it look good. I want people to walk in and be impressed. Another thing is these raffle tickets we are doing. The package is amazing hello a diamond necklace and a massage alone is worth it. If you win it its like the Prom Fantasy Package honestly. I wish I could buy one just so I could maybe win. On April 21st when the night is ending I will probably be sad that is all over but good news is this will be an annual event so I can stress about this next year. Unless it really fails and no one shows up.
The thing people keep asking about the prom is the attire. I say its a prom a reason to dress up and get fancy. The thought of getting fancy makes some people anxious. Then dress your style of fancy. Make it your own and just have some dancing shoes on. Because we are going to rock the night away kids!!!
Shake It For Kenzie...AHHHHHH!!!! This is a huge event. I don't think some people understand how big this is. I want to make it super sucessful so we can continue to do this and raise money for kids with traumatic brain injuries. The Montana Zoo is doing is a huge favor by letting us use their facility. There will be bands, drinks, food, a photo booth, and a lot more other little surprises. We are going to be celebrating how great life is while dancing in the sun. If you would like to help out in anyway please contact me on e-mail right now its the best way for me to keep things organized right now. If you haven't noticed I have a lot of projects going on at one time. e-mail is ktzarn@gmail.com
Some day I would like to start my own organization to help families that have to go through this awful experience. Support is such a big part in this. And some days it can feel like you are going through it alone. No one understands that whole in your heart. Or frustrated with the people wanting money, with the forms you have to fill out and the stupid questions on these forms. There are days you want to sit and cry and you can't help but ask why knowning that no one will ever have that perfect answer for you. Its scary.
But I can honestly say that through this whole ordeal we have met amazing people who have been there to support us in any way possible. It has shown me that there is still good honest people out there. I thank you all for that it has meant more to us than you will ever know.
The last few weeks the high schools have been doing thier proms. I love seeing all the girls in their dresses and the boys looking uncomfortable and nervous. I love it all. The flowers, the hair, the shoes..oh the shoes. It makes sad this year when kids are experiencing all the stuff that I treasure as memories from high school. I try to imagine what Kenzie would of wore who her date would of been and all the pictures she would of taken. When its sunny and goregous out, I miss her going and taking pictures of it all.
Kenzie is now home in Lewistown. How amazing is that?!? This is a huge step for the family in the right direction. Kenzie will be more comfortable and so will everyone else including me. She can get all the love she wants now from her child (her cat). It is just amazing to me that she won't have to be in the old folks home now. But the staff really was amazing I will miss those people.
Again thank you for all the love, support, and prayers, You all make this a little easier. :)
