On Saturday, Jan. 24, the 41st Annual Snow Ball will honor a local family whose name is synonymous with Kansas City philanthropic giving: The Jean and Bill Dunn Family.
The Dunn family is made up of longtime business leaders, community benefactors and Catholic Charity supporters.
Each year, Snow Ball is an elegant black-tie gala starting with a cocktail reception, followed by a formal seated dinner that leads into live music and dancing. This year celebrates the work of Catholic Charities in serving annually more than 85,000 northeast Kansas children, families and individuals in need.
The 41st Annual Snow Ball is chaired by event presidents, Paul and Mary Thompson of Nativity Parish in Leawood. More than 1,750 guests, including many of Kansas City’s most influential leaders, will attend this historic charitable event at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel in the Crown Center Exhibition Hall. Individual tickets and tables are still available for purchase online at www.catholiccharitiessnowball.org or call 913-433-2046.
Snow Ball is one of the largest philanthropic black tie galas in the Kansas City area and is the largest annual fundraiser of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas. All proceeds support local children, families and individuals in need of basics such as food, hygiene, clothes, rent, and utility assistance.
