Looking for the 2014 Angels' Gala?

A star studded night to be sure this Friday at the downtown Marriott when The Children's Place "Angels' Gala" will take place. One of the largest events in Kansas City so far this year, the Children's Place Angels' Gala will feature an appearance by honorary Chairs Scott Pioli and his wife Dallas Pioli, followed by keynote speaker Darrell Hammond from Saturday Night Live who is famous for his impressions of Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney.  Darrell Hammond will talk to The Children's Place 2013 Gala patrons about growing up with an abusive mother. Hammond's performance will be followed by Kansas City's Hottest Dance band The KC All Stars.

Sponsorship levels for The Children's Place Angels' Gala 2013 are as follows:

$150.00 per individual ticket
$2500.00 - $35,000.00 for corporate sponsorship

The Children's Place has been active in the Kansas City charity community since 1978 providing care for young children who have been the victims of abuse, neglect and other trauma related issues. Their continued success relies upon many generous charity organization supporters and their donations. The Children's Place Angels' Charity Event is one such function that supports this wonderful charity organization.

Church of the Nativity Parish Fundraiser a Smash Hit in 2013

There's big time, and then there's even BIGGER time.  When it comes time for the Church of the Nativity to throw their annual fundraiser for their school The Nativity Parish School, the entire city of Leawood shows up to party. This year, the annual fundraiser hit it's highest mark in regards to donations raised and this was partly due to a change in entertainment for the event.  Instead of going with a regular cover band this year, The Church of Nativity got with the times and brought in The Dueling Piano Guys, a National touring dueling piano act based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Although the auctioneers at this event went on a little too long for most, and started to become a little irritating (there's only so much auctioneering rattle you can stand) - when the Dueling Piano Guys hit the stage  the party lit into action. In years past, many would leave the event after the auction, but not this year. The guests immediately packed the dance floor and stayed there for entire 75 minute performance. From making "human trumpets" out of some hand picked guys and gals from the crowd, to a roaring conga line, the dueling piano guys took this event to the next level performing today's hits mixed with hits from every generation.

The totals are not yet in for the amounts raised, but they are sure to be higher than previous years and the Nativity Parish School, located at 119th and Mission in Leawood, Kansas will be reaping the benefits of many generous prestigious members of the Leawood community's donations. Both the church and the school of the Nativity offer wonderful programs for people in the community of all ages, from the school children to adult groups, this organization offers something for everyone.
