EMBRACE the Harvest Moon

Saturday, September 26 · Fiorella's Event Space, Overland Park

EMBRACE supports inclusion for children with special needs in Catholic schools across the Kansas City area. Their fall fundraiser — Growing Inclusive Catholic Schools — is an evening of dinner, live music, and silent and live auctions, and every dollar raised helps fund the classroom aides and resources that make inclusive education possible.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

— Psalm 139:13–14
