It's A Kazoo Christmas, 2008!

Oh, the weather outside was frightful,
but the kazoo was so delightful,
and since this is a fun charity event, we...
...let it blow,
...let it blow,
...let it blow!
(the kazoo, we mean)

Each year, a quirky band of Portlanders are brought together by the idea of making fundraising fun (for a good cause, of course). To accomplish this, we build a kazoo choir to play Christmas carols. While the kazoo choir plays, we sell kazoos to raise money and further awareness for Portland's own Kinship House.

On December 13th, 2008, the third annual It's A Kazoo Christmas was held at Bridgeport Village. Though it was a cold, blustery day, our day of kazooing would not be denied.

It's impossible not to have a good time while kazooing Christmas carols, but our real goal is has been to help the Kinship House.

Why help the Kinship House? Because they're local and they're awesome. Click here to read more about them.

How do we help? Our idea is both simple and fun.

While our kazoo choir plays, we sell kazoos for five dollars each with all proceeds donated to the Kinship House.

Best of all, we make a lot of noise. Noise attracts attention, and attention brings us media exposure, and media exposure helps to spread awareness of the Kinship House and all of the wonderful work they do.

We'd like to thank everyone who has kazooed with us or donated to our cause these past three years. Your support is very much appreciated!
