In consideration of potential health risks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, KCMBF has cancelled the 18th Annual Liberty & Justice Gala scheduled for September 12, 2020. We are saddened that we will not be able to gather for our annual celebration and fundraising event this year and look forward to the Liberty & Justice Gala next year. Although we will not be gathering in person, we will be in touch in the near future in an effort to ensure the Foundation’s signature programs are able to continue to serve those in need of our assistance. - Jill M. Katz, Gala Chair
The annual Liberty & Justice Gala is a black-tie dinner celebrating KCMBF, the charitable arm of KCMBA, and is the primary fundraising event in support of KCMBF programs. It is also a celebration of the accomplishments the Foundation is making in the Kansas City community.
In November 2019, the KCMBF Board of Directors passed a Resolution changing the name of the Liberty & Justice Legacy Award to the Jack L. Campbell Legacy Award. To view the Resolution, please click here.
