Our first Jingle and Joy Holiday Bash brought more than 40 families together for crafts, music, snacks, and community cheer.

Holiday baskets, a food‑drive boost, and nonstop creativity from the kids made it unforgettable.

Grateful for every volunteer who helped make the magic happen. 🎄✨

🌟 Sponsor Spotlight: Paul Baumann, BFA™
Thrivent Financial Advisor | Licensed in IA, MI, MO, NE, OH, SD

We’re celebrating someone whose support goes far beyond a sponsorship—Paul Baumann, who has been championing our mission since it was nothing more than a big dream and a lot of heart.

Paul first met Kodjo through a mutual client, and what started as a simple introduction quickly became a shared vision. After hearing about the nonprofit’s goals and the need for accessible youth sports, Paul didn’t hesitate. Together, they launched our inaugural 2024 soccer camp.

“Kodjo is such an energetic person—it’s hard not to come alongside him,” Paul said. “Education is a big focus for me, especially financial education for the next generation.”

Even though soccer isn’t his kids’ main sport, Paul’s family jumped in with enthusiasm—trying something new, inviting friends, and experiencing a sport that’s often out of reach due to cost. Keeping the camp affordable and accessible has been a shared priority from day one.

Paul’s support has helped provide soccer supplies, camp access, and financial education opportunities, reinforcing our belief that every child deserves a chance to learn, play, and grow.

He also helps families understand unique tools available through Thrivent, including:

✅ Thrivent covers donation processing fees when gifts are made through their website (linked at the bottom of our homepage)
✅ Every Thrivent member receives two $250 Action Team cards they can direct toward causes they care about—like our camp

We’re grateful for Paul’s partnership, his belief in our mission, and his commitment to empowering the next generation—on the field and beyond.

Today we delivered the coats, hats, and gloves collected throughout November to Gifford Park Elementary—and what a moment of community power it was.
