Our annual Gala has a reputation for having one of the best silent auctions around! Here are a few of the one-of-a-kind auction items featured in last year’s event. What items would you like to see in this year’s auction?

Proceeds from the 2024 Gala were used to create a one-of-a-kind service in Eastern Jackson County – Parkinson’s Connection. Learn more about how your support created a new and beneficial destination for friends and neighbors with Parkinson’s disease who live throughout the KC Metro. Imagine what we can do TOGETHER for The Pavilion through this year's Moonshine and Melodies: A Speakeasy Soiree!
