All Things Gala 2024 - Kansas City
ALL THINGS GALA is a unique experience where we present education and best practices using a gala-style format to create a fun and engaging atmosphere. From the opening of our doors, you will see a Gala-like format, from mimosas to start your day, a fantastic lunch with live entertainment, a mock auction and paddle raise, as well as a silent auction and games and raffles that come with REAL prizes.
