Sarah Windmuller said her friend Kimmie Albrecht, who was killed in a car accident in October 2023, was loving, giving, and passionate, qualities that shined brightly in her efforts to care for animals in need.
“She did animal rescue on her own, and alongside her husband,” Windmuller said. “She would take care of animals that were vulnerable that most people would be like ‘Ah, that’s kind of too hard of a case for me. I’m not going to do it.’ She gave every animal all the love and every chance and every, every little thing that she could to help them.”
In Albrecht’s memory, Windmuller and the team at Hard Knox Games and Hobbies are organizing a charity event from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 13 that will benefit the Lucky Cat Cafe and Lounge in Louisville, the only non-profit cat cafe in Kentucky.
“There’s a couple of tournaments going on. and then there’s going to be a swap meet,” Windmuller said. “So we’re going to be there with our booth, and we’re going to have baked goods that people can just donate some money, whatever they want. I have a team of ladies who make the absolute best baked goods you can imagine.”
The event will also feature raffles and silent auction items.
Windmuller said the event is a way for Albrechts friends and loved ones to celebrate the things that made her who she was.
“Kimmy’s passing was such a huge impact on the whole D&D community, so this is all of us coming together and celebrating her at one of her favorite places,” Windmuller said. “So we’ve also got dragon bracelets and I’ve also got paw print bracelets for, so it’s like combining all of her favorite things.”
