The FIRE Foundation is pleased to present FIRE Ball 2024, on October 12th at the Grand Ballroom of the Kansas City Convention Center. We’re Starstruck for inclusive Catholic education and all the students, educators and generous friends who light up FIRE’s mission every day. We thank our lucky stars for supporters like you! Your gifts help FIRE light the education paths of children attending 15 Catholic schools located in the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph.
FIRE’s ever-expanding constellation of believers and advocates gives students with intellectual and developmental disabilities an opportunity to aim for the stars – academically, socially and spiritually. In classrooms, at Mass, on the playground and beyond – kids know they belong and are loved. We’ve traveled light years on this journey, but there is still so much more to do. FIRE needs our support to continue this important work and to respond to increasing demands for inclusion resources. This year, FIRE is granting nearly $850,000 to make it possible for 501 students with significant learning needs to learn and grow alongside their siblings and friends in our wonderful faith-based schools.
