Treads and Threads

TESTIMONIALS

Our family has made Treads & Threads an annual tradition to honor my late husband's memory. It is also a fun event for a wonderful cause.

I attended for the first time last year. I had heard lots of wonderful things but I was still blown away when I walked through the gates! This is a huge event for such a great cause!

BKD, LLP
"At BKD, LLP, we encourage our employees to give back to the communities in which we live and work. Our regional accounting firm has 28 offices in 12 states, with much of our clients involved in health care. Treads & Threads is a natural fit for our company and our staff.

This is one way we can give back to the community. Cancer touches many people as patients or through family and friends. In fact, two of my family members have been treated for cancer at The University of Kansas Hospital, and the compassionate care was excellent. We are proud to support this great event, which benefits a great cause that is working to improve the health of our citizens."
