Kirsten Kares Foundation

Kirsten Sowers has been performing to support schools, military and children since the age of 8. In 2011, at the age of 11, Kirsten wanted to establish her own foundation, and so it began...

Kirsten Kares Foundation was registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on March 25, 2011. Through performing and fundraising, we will support the military, children, animals, those caught in natural disasters, and recognized charities supporting similar areas. Based on our integrity, values and enthusiastic actions, we seek to fulfill our mission and reach our goals. Monies raised during fundraising activities throughout the past have helped the Foundation assist such charities and organizations including, but not limited to:
