A HOMECOMING SUCCESS
Thank you to all of those who attend the 2024 Homecoming Reception at the brand new CPKC Stadium! We had a successful turnout and raised over $30,000 that will all go towards the Alumni Legacy Scholarship, which covers the full cost of tuition, Benchmarking Trip fees, and basic Chamber membership for a professional in each cohort from a traditionally underrepresented group who is working to create equity within Kansas City. A special shoutout goes to the winning classes of 2017 and Pinnacle 2020 who won a happy hour courtesy of Loews Kansas City Hotel!
