First Call – 2023 Soiree
Hotel Kansas City was the site for First Call’s Soiree, which was held on September 28th. Karen and Jeffry Gerson were the event chairs. The newly reimagined event featured a keynote performance by live painter, John Bukaty. Guests were treated to a lovely dinner, an auction, and most importantly, stories of hope from former First Call clients. Funds support the organization’s mission to reduce the impact of alcohol, drugs, and addiction by providing quality resources to individuals, families, and the community.
