We toasted the 10th - and Broke All Records!
Thanks to record-setting generosity from sponsors and patrons, the 10th annual Treads & Threads raised an unprecedented $1.2 million in gross proceeds for cancer care at The University of Kansas Cancer Center.
Celebrating a decade of support for cancer care, The University of Kansas Hospital's gala was the biggest and most spectacular ever to roar through Kansas Speedway.
Our sincerest thanks goes to Event Chairs Mark and Mary Jorgenson, Honorary Chairs Tom and Judy Bowser, Presenting Sponsor Polsinelli Shugart PC and Entertainment Sponsor U.S. Bank. And another big thank you to our fabulous restaurant partners, which we hope you will visit throughout the year.
Photos
More than 3,500 guests - another record - partied under the stars and inside the oval to country music legend Martina McBride and then Emerald City Band of Dallas. Check out our photo gallery from the Best Charitable Event* in Kansas City and relive the fun!
