DA Kagay fundraiser benefiting child victims of abuse
TOPEKA (KSNT) - The Shawnee County District Attorney's Office held a fundraiser for children who've been abused. The fundraiser benefits the LifeHouse Child Advocacy Center.
Participants could buy water balloons to throw at Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay. Money raised by selling balloons goes towards the cause.
KSNT News spoke to Kagay about his involvement in the campaign.
"I love to partner with them any way I can," Kagay said. "And so we are out here throwing water balloons today. It's a fun way to bring up the topic and an easy way to raise money, cause turns out people enjoy water balloons and some of them are especially enthusiastic to throw them at me."
This is Kagay's third year benefiting LifeHouse Child Advocacy Center and his second participating in the water balloon event.
