2021 Luncheon

37th Annual Philanthropy Awards Luncheon

We cannot always control what life hands us, but we can control what we make of it. Now more than ever we have been turning our obstacles into opportunities and making lemonade out of lemons. This year we honor the truly outstanding work that members of the Kansas City community have done during the coronavirus pandemic and all that came with it.

Celebration Rooms - Immediately following the program, congratulate and mingle with the Award Nominees via Zoom breakout rooms!
