Dear Friend and Supporter,

On behalf of the Kansas City Kansas Community College Foundation, I am proud to announce the 2017 Mid-America Education Hall of Fame Award and Scholarship Event:

This inaugural event brings together the annual Mid-America Education Hall of Fame Awards and Fall Fundraising Gala to form a new event that will celebrate and honor award recipients, and raise financial resources for scholarships. This is the Foundation’s premier fundraising event. Your generous support will allow us to build our student scholarship program.

On the evening of April 15th, we will highlight our students and core program offerings through an exciting ambiance and engaging activities. You will experience some of the innovative learning opportunities we provide our students.

This year’s Honorary Chair for the evening is Will Shields; former NFL player and member of 2015 NFL Hall of Fame class. Most importantly, Mr. Shields received a 2001 KCKCC Mid-America Education Hall of Fame Award. We are thrilled to have a recent award recipient serve as the Honorary Chair of this inaugural event.

Kansas City Kansas Community College is the leading entrepreneurial college in the metro area. We offer progressive, entrepreneurial and innovative education to a diverse community. Our unique partnerships with the business community allow us to offer a one-of-kind experiences for hundreds of students. We are preparing our students to be entrepreneurs and successful contributors to the workforce needs of the 21st century.

Thank you for your consideration.

Kind regards,


Dr. Doris F. Givens, President
