Kansas City Hospice – Lucky to Know You: Sunday Night Live

The KC Live! Block in the Power & Light District was the site for Lucky to Know You: Sunday Night Live, a benefit for Kansas City Hospice on October 6th. The fun event featured delicious fare, drinks, games, prizes, and more. The Patron Party was held a few nights prior, with a gorgeous Plaza view by hosts Jenny and John Isenberg and Ann and Tom Isenberg. Proceeds help local families with the critical care needed in the palliative and hospice process.
