Kenzi’s Causes, formerly known as Dolls For Daughters, a Denver-based non-profit that has served more than 65,000 low-income children, raised over $120,000 at its annual Bidz4Kidz Gala & Golf4Kidz event over the weekend .

Dolls for Daughters was founded in 2007 after Jessica Bachus’ daughter Kenzi was stillborn at 24 weeks. Overcome with grief, Jessica felt compelled to channel her emotions into something that would honor Kenzi’s memory. With this notion, Kenzi’s Causes was created so that Jessica and her family could provide dolls to young girls at Christmastime who would otherwise go without. Jessica collected over 150 dolls the first year and since then Kenzi’s Causes has expanded, providing support to over 65,000 children across Colorado. Jessica and her husband Kyle have three living children and are dedicated to serving the community they live in.
