YMCA of Greater Kansas City – Challenge Your Fashion
January 25th was the date for the Challenge Your Fashion gala. Partygoers enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a silent auction, a live auction hosted by Rex Hudler and The Nigro Brothers, and dancing to the tunes of Lost Wax. The 13th annual event featured a fashion show with sports celebrities and YMCA Challenger athletes and buddies. Aly Trost and Steven St. John were the emcees. Proceeds support the YMCA of Greater Kansas City’s Challenger Program, which helps children with diverse abilities to build confidence, learn new skills, and make friends through sports programs and social activities. The event will also help the YMCA build additional accessible sports fields at the YMCA Challenger Sports Complex.
