Did you know that with every ticket purchased to a BellaSpark event $1 goes to Kristi's Fund?
The Kristi Visocky Memorial Foundation, a.k.a. Kristi's Fund, was created in memory of Kristi Visocky who was killed in an auto accident in May of 2003 at the age of 21. Determined to keep alive the spirit and compassion of a young woman who was a strong champion of the underdog and supporter of troubled youth, Kristi's Fund was set up to provide scholarships and assistance to area young people.
Kristi was an incredibly beautiful soul, filled with compassion and concern for those less fortunate. From the time she was a small child she stood up for fairness and integrity and often railed against the injustices in this world. Oh how that child loved to argue and challenge the status quo.
The young women who have benefited from the Kristi Visocky Memorial Foundation Scholarships are the very types Kristi supported: young, displaced girls and single moms, working to pull their life back together and create a better life for themselves or their families. One such woman, a single mom of three little boys, who was embarking on nursing school, put it this way when told she would receive a $2000 scholarship to Front Range Community College, "You don't know what this means to me. It's not just the money for school, it's that you believe in me and believe that I can do this!"
In 2010, we will award ten $2000 scholarships to area women. To date, the Foundation has awarded over $100,000 in scholarships and support to area young women and youth organizations. More...
Fall is definitely our favorite time of the year. Football, fresh apple cider, crisp cool nights and vibrantly colorful days. There is something about the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, moving out the last vestiges of summer like a large broom, sweeping away the turbulence of the past few months and ushering in a new season.

My grandson Nicholas loves to ride bikes with me. Now I’ve found that if you’re looking for a real aerobic workout, or in a hurry to get somewhere, Nicholas is not the riding partner you want. But if you enjoy stopping at all the cool places along the river to crouch on the rocks and look for fish and turtles, sail sticks and throw stones, then he’s your man. And if you want a soothing, meditative opportunity, forget it. This child never stops talking!

We believe it is time to ignite human energy… one spark, one beautiful spark, one heartbeat at a time, creating a chain reaction, an explosion of energy that can bring about amazing transformation.
As many of you know, BellaSpark Productions was named after our daughter Kristi who was killed in a car accident seven years ago. Kristi was a beautiful spark and we have tried to honor her memory by celebrating the beautiful, passionate spark of inspiration we knew her to be and carry on her legacy by igniting positive change in the world.

My favorite television commercials are the ones for Verizon Wireless and their Network. The guy comes out of the store after purchasing Verizon phone service and is greeted by hundreds of people lead by a man in a grey uniform. As he walks, the man in the grey uniform and the hundreds of people move with him. Every step he takes, the crowd shifts to move along with him, two steps to the left, three steps to the right, they all move as one along with him. Bewildered, the man goes back inside the store and asks “What’s up?” “It’s your Network.” is the reply.
