My name is Jared Hiner.

I am the proud father of a 4p- child. My daughter, Kamdyn Ann-Faith Hiner, was born December of 2001 with a chromosome abnormality called 4p-/Wolf Hirschhorn. With only 600+/- known cases in the United States, so very little is known about this syndrome. I, my family and my band, Breakdown Kings, are presenting and hosting our 9th Annual Music Benefit on July 20th & 21st, 2012 at the American Legion Park/Campground just north of Fortville, Indiana on Highway 13. (one exit north of Verizon Wireless Music Center on I-69) This event is called “Kammy’s Kause”. This festival begins Friday evening at 6pm and runs through Saturday night. Admission is $5, camping and parking are FREE, donations are gladly accepted. We have had over 50 Midwest bands/singers that have donated their time and talents to this worthy event over the past 8 years. For those who have seen this event from year 1 until now can attest to the enormous growth we have seen each and every year! We are currently seeking Presenting Sponsors, Partnering Sponsors and donations to keep this event affordable to the public. Our goal is to raise awareness about this syndrome, help fund research and assist families of children with 4p-. Portions of the money we have raised last 8 years has helped numerous families attend the bi-annual National Conferences for 4p-. While there they received encouragement from other families of 4p- children and medical information from 4p- specialists in the medical field who attend these conferences. Kammy’s Kause has been featured the last 8 years in the Greenfield Daily Reporter, Indianapolis Star, Nuvo Magazine, IndyMusic.net, Jambase.com, IMN.net, Channel 13, & Fox 59 and is sponsored by Clear Channel Radio: X103-Q95-1260 WNDE, IMI, Dodd Technologies & Braden Business Systems.

This years musical lineup includes: Landon Keller, Kalo, Joe & Alan, Blackberry Jam, Ladymoon, Shadyside All-Stars, Audiodacity, Alter Ego, Kramus, The Bleeding Keys, Jenn Cristy, Midwest Hype, Blue Moon Revue, Breakdown Kings & Twin Cats.
