Challenge Your Fashion
Challenge Your Fashion presented by Pro Athlete was filled with fun, fashion and great times. Our 14th annual event was held on March 5, 2022 at the Loews Hotel in Downtown Kansas City.
Thanks to our guests, volunteers and event sponsors for making this year's event such a success. We also thank Greg and Linda Westbrook for co-chairing the event, as well as the 2022 planning committee for their support.
This great night for a great cause benefits the YMCA of Greater Kansas City’s Challenger program, which provides children with disabilities the opportunity to build confidence, learn new skills and make friends through sports programs, swim lessons, social events, before and after school programs and more.
