Rose Brooks Center – Cabaret

Brynn Williams was the featured performer for the 36th anniversary of Cabaret, a benefit for Rose Brooks Center. Jane and Mike Kress served as the chairs for the event, which was held at Loews Kansas City Hotel on March 5th. Cynthia Newsome was the emcee, and Yve Rojas served as the auctioneer. In addition to the music, guests enjoyed cocktails and a delicious dinner. Proceeds support the organization’s commitment to help end violence in the lives of thousands of families and pets.
