Around Town

The Kari J Walk

By: Cupcake and Miss Preppy

On Sunday, May 19, 2024 Audubon hosted a walk for Kari J (Kari Jenkinson). The walk was around Audubon Lake.

During this walk, the Helping Paws club at Mansion sold bracelets to help raise money for the Kari J scholarship. The Helping Paws raised about $260  while selling the bracelets.

Another thing that happened during the Kari J walk, was that they were selling shirts to help raise awareness, and money, for the scholarship. 

Finally there was a raffle to win a purple yeti and that was another way that they raised money for the Kari J scholarship. Then to show respect there was a speech that everyone listened to. But the main big part was the walk and so many people came to show their respect but not only people that live in Audubon but also around 100 teachers came to walk around the lake to show their respect for Kari     

  J. This walk has been held every year since this heartbreaking loss of Kari Audubon has hosted a walk to raise money for Kari J scholarship that Audubon High School gives out every year. 

As our whole town of Audubon we all show our respect on this day by walking around the lake and wearing purple. This day is to show our respect to a family that lives in Audubon and has lost a family member Kari J to a horrible sickness.
