The Uptown Theater was the site for Pet Resource Center of Kansas City’s annual Fairy-Tails Ball. More than 400 guests gathered for the event, which was held on April 5th. Partygoers enjoyed dinner, silent and live auctions, touching rescue stories, and special appearances by adoptable pets from KCK Animal Services. Proceeds support affordable, lifesaving veterinary care for thousands of pets in our community.
