Katie Jane Brier was born on April 25, 2012, in Panama City, Panama. She has lived and gone to school in Panama, Colombia, and the U.S. In the summer she goes to her house in Maine where she likes to spend time on the lake, go to summer camp, and collect and paint rocks in her spare time. Katie is also an athlete and enjoys playing softball and running track. Through her travels she has seen kids that are not as fortunate as she is and she has always shown empathy for them even at her young age. We (her parents) decided to start Katie Jane Rocks in 2018 order to help less fortunate children in Panama, Colombia, and the USA. In 2019 Katie Jane Rocks, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Florida as a non-profit organization and is a 501(c)(3)organization, making all donations tax deductible. 100% of the proceeds earned from the sale of Katie Jane Rocks hand painted rocks are used to support four specific causes:
1. Help at-risk orphans in Medellin, Colombia, through donations to The Emiliani Project, an organization that provides direct care for orphaned children in Medellin, Colombia.
2. Providing direct assistance to the Juan E. Jimenez public elementary school in the mountain district of Los Altos De Cerro Azul, Panama, by donating meals and school supplies every month directly to the school administrators.
3. Providing scholarship funds to Camp Tracy in Oakland, Maine, to allow children from low income families to attend a week of lakeside summer camp at reduced or no cost. Camp Tracy has been providing summer day camp to area children for over 50 years.
4. Provide $1,000.00 annual scholarship to a female student-athlete softball player who was nominated between the ages of 7-13 and awarded the annual Queen Of The Diamond award, and who has graduated high-school and who is enrolling in a trade school, community college, college, university or joining the U.S. military.
The proceeds from every donation are shared equally among these four groups unless you specify a specific use of proceeds when making the donation. This allows you to make one donation and know that your purchase is helping less fortunate children in three different countries.
The Katie Jane Rocks organization is pleased to have been designated as a Silver level transparent non-profit organization for 2022 by Guide Star.
Each summer Katie Jane collects rocks from around the shores of Magrath Pond in Oakland, Maine. She collects them by hand and then washes and dries each rock. She then paints each rock by hand ensuring each rock is unique in appearance. The painted rocks are meant to be a lasting symbol of hope that reflect the goodness of the human spirit. A human spirit that embodies compassion and assistance when it comes to helping children in need, regardless of borders. We call these rocks Kindness Rocks.
Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. When you donate $50 or more you will receive a hand painted Kindness Rock from Katie Jane. Donations of $100 or more will also receive a hand signed edition of our hard copy children's book autographed by Katie Jane.
All donations of $50.00 or more include a hand painted Kindness Rock frWant to spread the spirit of compassion and kindness? Consider burying a Katie Jane Rock in the earth somewhere.
