With 165 years of impact under their belt, the YMCA of Greater Kansas City knows how to throw a party! Cause for Celebration was the ticket to a great evening filled with plenty of fun, and lots of moving stories about how the YMCA has positively impacted the lives of people in our community. Dr. Andrea Hendricks and Dr. Michelle Robin were the event co-chairs, and Kevin Holmes served as the emcee. Proceeds from the event support the Y’s continued mission of enriching the quality of family, spiritual, social, mental, and physical well-being.
