Gathering to Support Area Families

To kick off the holiday season, Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL) hosted its annual Red Stocking Breakfast in Overland Park, Topeka and Wichita. These support KCSL’s prevention and education programs.

This year, over 1,000 people attended the event across the three locations. Each breakfast created a fun, festive event where local celebrities served breakfast. Attendees also participated in raffles, giveaways and silent auctions. Preliminary results show that over $121,000 was raised to support KCSL’s work to build stronger, happier families. Thank you to our generous partners, volunteers and attendees for making this event a success!

KCSL hosted Red Stocking Breakfast on Dec. 7 at Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue in Overland Park. KCSL served a delicious array of breakfast foods and held a raffle and online auction where attendees bid on items from local retailers. Mike Kelly, chair of the Johnson County Board of Commissions and partner with the Husch Blackwell in Kansas City, emceed the event.
