2024 Event Recipient

Every year, all of the proceeds for the Holy Smoke Competition go toward a selected person to be blessed by Rising Sun. This year we are raising funds for Kristin Lampkin!

Kristin is a 34 year old mother of two, Everson (2) and Harrison (5) and wife to Kyle. As well, Kristin is a first grade teacher at Des Moines Public Schools. She is fighting with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Kristin has undergone a double mastectomy and extensive cancer treatment and still has a long haul left in this fight.

Her journey is a testament to strength, resilience, and the power of community. As she navigates this difficult chapter of her life, let's rally around her with unwavering support and encouragement. Together, we can make a difference in Kristin's fight against cancer.
