Run for the Roses Kentucky Derby Gala

The Fourth Annual Run for the Roses Kentucky Derby Gala was held on May 7th at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza.  The event was a benefit for The Mission Project, which helps adults with developmental or cognitive disabilities to live independently and safely in the community with minimal support.  Guests enjoyed a silent auction, “betting” on their favorite horses by purchasing raffle tickets in the horse’s name, delicious refreshment, and receiving prizes for the best dressed categories.

(Also check out this event in the June 25th issue of The Independent magazine.)
