Life Unlimited – Hats Off to Mothers

Life Unlimited celebrated 20 years of its very successful fundraiser, Hats Off to Mothers, with its annual luncheon on May 10th at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center. Eight stunning ladies were honored this year for their ability to balance family, personal achievement, and service to our community. Suzanne Shank served as the chairman, and John Holt was the emcee. Proceeds support Life Unlimited’s mission to support people with disabilities as they experience life with unlimited possibilities.
