In Memory of Alma Buhnerkempe

We are heartbroken to say that The KASE Project lost a member of our TKP family in the tragic events at YNOT in Chatham, IL on April 28.

Alma began attending TKP events as “Will’s sister,” but quickly became an integral beacon of light, full of energy and the willingness to assist in any way she was allowed. She proudly donned her FLASH volunteer shirt at soccer, basketball, and t-ball practices, and was always eager to be in charge of ‘red light, green light.’

Alma also participated in our SIBS program, cracking jokes and holding her own as the only girl in the group.

Her absence will be painfully obvious and we are heartbroken for her family and anyone who was blessed to know her.

Please keep her brother, Will, and her parents and family in your thoughts as they navigate the days ahead.

While Alma was a member of the TKP family, we also mourn with the families of all that were lost and are hurting.

Her family has requested that donations be made to The KASE Project in lieu of flowers. We thank the Buhnerkempe family for their generosity in Alma’s memory.

With love,

The KASE Project Team
