How you can help

We all know Kari was passionate about several things outside of friends and family.. healthy living, animals/ small creatures and her Annual Adopt-A-Grandparent!

Help me keep the things Kari Kares about by keeping her annual gift giving to the Crofton Senior Home going. We all have had a grandparent or even elderly parents and know how small the circle gets as they become older and life for others becomes busier.

The loss of our beautiful Kari will forever be a void on this earth but we can keep her bright smile shining by continuing to keep alive the passions she KARED about!

We will collect funds and together with her family and her "BADASS BFF Crew" deliver gifts to the Crofton Convalescent now called Autumn Lake Healthcare at Crofton".

A non-profit in the name of Kari Kares will soon be in the process of formation.

"This is something I started 6 years ago and it is now an Annual tradition 🙂
I am doing a Holiday Drive to gift grandparents that are living in an Assisted Living Facility with some Holiday Cheer. The donations will be used to deliver Holiday gifts to the elderly! For some, this may be the only gift they receive.
For anyone that has a Grandmother or Grandfather, or someone you know in an Assisted Living Facility, you know that it can be a little lonely around the Holiday Season. So, I invite you to Pay It Forward and "Adopt~A ~Grandparent" this year!
All you have to do is donate any amount you like and I will put together gifts to be delivered to the Crofton Care and Rehabilitation Center."
