About the Kazickas Family Foundation
The Kazickas’ “Odyssey of Hope” brought our family to America – the new world of freedom, opportunity and prosperity in 1945, but we never forgot our heritage and homeland. As a family foundation, our mission is to support organizations in Lithuania and the diaspora that are working to create a better future for Lithuanians everywhere.
