When our community comes together, the impact is greater than we can imagine 💙 We look forward to coming together again in 2027!

Thanks to the businesses that contributed to our live and silent auctions at Tony’s Bar during Polar Bear Jump Weekend along with the fundraising efforts and direct donations of Frozen Cactus Salon, The American Legion Seward Post #5, and Seward Sports and Rec, we collectively raised over $10,000 for Katie’s Handprint Kenai Peninsula Fund!

This money covers grants for a year of treatments for two children on the Kenai! Thank you so much to everyone who came out to contribute to this fund and support the cause. Katie’s Handprint is a non-profit organization that provides fast, low-barrier financial support for treatment-related costs and household needs for families facing childhood cancer.
