Kenosha, WI – The Kenosha Kingfish are proud to be a part of the community here in Kenosha. There are plenty of great organizations that contribute to admirable causes, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace is one which stands out. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a non-profit group that builds and delivers single beds, complete with mattresses, bedding, and a pillow to kids between 3 and 17 years old who do not have a proper bed to sleep in.  Since the founding of the Racine/Kenosha Chapter in 2018, 727 beds have been delivered to kids in the area.
