News and updates

Our new website went live last week on January 16.  A big thanks to Accuraty Solutions for all their hard work in designing the site and giving us a presence on the web we can be proud of and use to connect with Kickapoo supporters.  We would also like to thank Volusion for including us in their 'Stores to Change the World' program in which we get a free online store for life.  Both of these companies have helped bring a vision to life!

If you are interested in supporting Kickapoo State Park, please check out our Volunteer page and fill out the application and also stop by our store and grab a t-shirt or magnet.  You can also make tax deductible donations in the store as well.

It's been a long time coming, but this is just the beginning for Give A Kick, so please check back often as new content will be going up all the time as we grow as an organization and expand the site.

Regards,

Cory Vandenberg

Dear Visitors,

I know this is long overdue, but hopefully you will understand and forgive me. I started this organization with the hopes of making a big impact. I feel I failed in my first attempt at doing that. I have not given up hope though, and I am ready to give everything I can to ensuring the success of this organization...

Dear Visitors,

I am a 1999 graduate of Oakwood High School.  My hometown is Muncie, Illinois, and I was raised in the Oakwood school district for nearly my entire childhood.  I currently live in Austin, TX, but when I got a call from my mother that Kickapoo State Park would be closing, I was quite frankly shocked, almost to the point of being speechless.  You see, my father is the ranger at Kickapoo.  Not only did this mean he was going to lose his job of nearly a quarter century, but since my parents live in a house owned by the state, which is on Kickapoo property, it meant that they would need to move from their home.  I immediately started thinking of ways I could help, and fortunately with the help of the web, there are many.
