A group of four students from the University of Tennessee are working to raise money for Knoxville Inner City Kids Outreach (KICKO), a local non-profit that offers after school programs for inner city children in the Knoxville area.

The students are using the crowdfunding website Indiegogo to raise money for KICKO’s “Sidewalk Sonday School”. Sidewalk Sonday School visits 1,200 children in nine different locations throughout Knoxville each week in a bus full of activities. The leaders play games with the children and teach them a Sunday school lesson.

The students are trying to raise $1500 which will support the Sidewalk Sonday School program for two weeks. The funds will go towards the snacks that are provided as incentives for the children.

“KICKO impacts the children of our community in such a positive way that really transforms their lives. They love on these kids, encourage them, and teach them valuable lessons. Any donations large or small would go a long way to keep these kids an active member of the program” says, Madi Andres.
