Kammy’s Kause, an annual event now in its 20th year, continues to make a significant impact in the community, bringing together people for a cause that supports individuals with rare chromosome disorders. The event was founded by Jared and his daughter Kammy, who has a rare chromosome disorder known as 4P- syndrome, also referred to as Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

This year’s event features a two-day lineup. On Friday night, an acoustic night on Main Street in Fortville will showcase over 20 acoustic musicians performing inside businesses and on sidewalks, in a style reminiscent of Nashville’s live music scene. The main event on Saturday includes Kammy’s Ride, a motorcycle ride now in its 15th year, as well as full bands, a Kid Zone, and a silent auction at Landmark Park. All activities are free to attend, with donations encouraged to support the cause.

Kammy’s Kause was created to raise awareness and fund research for 4P- syndrome, providing resources and support to families facing similar diagnoses. Over the past 20 years, the event has grown to become the largest of its kind globally, offering much-needed assistance to families worldwide. The funds raised go directly to research and the 4P- Support Group, which has helped change the landscape for families dealing with the disorder.

Kammy, now a vibrant and spirited young woman, was initially given a bleak prognosis at birth, but has defied expectations, showcasing her lively personality and zest for life. The event not only celebrates her journey but also supports others navigating similar challenges.
