The mission of Koz’s Kids is
to assist the children of our community and to ensure
that they receive the resources and services required to meet their
fundamental needs.
In 2007, the Reno Rodeo
Foundation was approached by the friends and colleagues of
Cheryl
Kosewicz (1971-2007) to assist them in forming an organization
to honor Cheryl's memory.
Cheryl was a woman of
many passions. She was a star basketball player with the UNLV Lady
Rebels, she boxed, she competed in triathlons. In her youth, she was a
High School Rodeo participant. In her professional life,
Cheryl was a Deputy District Attorney, first in Clark County and
then in Washoe County, where she prosecuted sexual abuse cases.
Cheryl's friends and
colleagues are endeavoring to capture her spirit in the projects of
Koz's Kids which will benefit children who have been placed in
emergency protective custody and foster care.
The immediate goals
of the Koz's Kids Advisory Board is to assist in
fundraising endeavors and the distribution of collected assets to
children alleged to have been abused or neglected and receiving
services of the Washoe County Department of Social Services.
Koz's Kids is
committed to working in association with the Reno Rodeo Foundation
and individuals in the community who share its vision.
The Koz's Kids
Advisory Board is currently planning a handful of summer fundraisers
to fund specific Koz's Kids projects. If you'd like to join the Koz's Kids mailing
