Saint Luke’s Hospital – Paint the Town

It’s time to channel your inner spy for a night filled with glamour and espionage. The sixth annual Paint the Town, a benefit for Saint Luke’s Hospital, issued a James Bond super spy dress code for the September 20th event that will be held poolside at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza. Special Agents include Honorary Chairmen Lou and Dr. Mark Allen and Co-chairmen Kim and Bill Aliber, Mollie and Bill Grojean and Suzzette and Dr. Stephen Griffith. The Super Sleuths are planning an evening of intrigue, artistry and world-class cuisine prepared For Your Eyes Only. The Dave Stephens Band will re-create the music and magic of many popular 007 films and lots of “Bond Girls” and villains will perform throughout the evening. It is sure to be an affair that even Dr. No couldn’t resist! Proceeds from the event will benefit the Saint Luke’s Hospital gastroenterology program.
