Bra Couture® KC’s annual event is a huge undertaking; we actually turn an empty private airplane hangar into what can be almost called a ballroom. Click here to see the map of the event space and how we stage that space for our event.
Once you see that space, you know not only the effort but all of the details of what is required; so how do we do that exactly?
With donations; donations from so many vendors, couture designed bras, purses, artwork, sports memorabilia, e.g., The Kansas City Royals through Nick Kenny donated over $1200 of signed items to us for 2019. Also, the wine tower….all of this is in the silent auction area.
Bra Couture® KC is also proud to be supported by individuals from Kansas City’s sports teams; Alex Gordon has selected Bra Couture® KC as his charity of choice and Nick Kenny Head Athletic Trainer/Director of Medical Services at The Kansas City Royals is on our board and through him, the Royals donate over $1,000 of sports memorabilia to BCKC. As we launched and grew, Bra Couture® KC received support from Chiefs executives, Dustin Colquitt and Rita and Lamar Hunt, with Harrison Butker joining Dustin on the runway for 2019. The Chiefs Ambassadors have shared their celebrity with us for the past 7 years with several members including Bobbie Bell, Anthony Davis, and Walter White who we loved and lost to cancer.
We owe such gratitude to all of our donors, our celebrities, and our volunteers; for 2021 we will have over 100 ZTA Sorority members from William Jewell College as volunteers….just amazing.
