Director of Kenzi’s Kidz – Nick Jurjovec

CTLA Conference Room
I met Jessica last year. I just started working for the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and our members were gearing up to collect new dolls for the Dolls for Daughters® program during the holiday season.

Within our association, I coordinated drop-off locations throughout the state and promoted the doll drive to our members, other attorneys and vendors. It was a huge success. Our conference room was jam packed with dolls.

Together, Jessica and I brought the donations to area nonprofits. I realized what a unique impact Dolls for Daughters made. It was at this time when Jessica asked me to help with Kenzi’s Kidz.


With a background in working with nonprofit organizations and seeing Jessica so bravely turn something so tragic into something so wonderful, I could not say no.

Kenzi’s Kidz will relieve some of the financial burdens of at least one, low-income family pro-actively taking the necessary steps to create a stable environment for their children. The program plans to give each child the fundamental items needed to succeed in school such as school supplies, clothing, extracurricular activities as well as birthday and holiday gifts for a year.

In order to launch the program, we plan to meet with a local nonprofit that provides safe and secure housing for its clients. Please check back for updates.

In my spare time, I run. In Florida at the beginning of next year, I plan to run my first marathon. Yes, I have a goal time. I would love to come in at 3:59:59…no sooner…well maybe sooner…but definitely no later! In the end, I want to say, “I did it in under four hours without keeling over!”

Kenzi's Causes

In 2007, Jessica Bachus started Dolls for Daughters®, after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. She created an annual holiday Toy Drive for Colorado children who would not otherwise have toys during the holidays. Today, Kenzi's Causes collects more than 100,000 toys, stocking stuffers, books, toothbrush/toothpaste kits, backpacks, lunch boxes and other items to change the lives of children in Colorado through our programs. At this annual event, families are also provided with community resources to help improve their lives and the lives of their children.
