Be part of the night that sets Kansas City aglow.
Join us for the 22nd annual Red Hot Night, Kansas City’s hottest gala, on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, at the Kansas City Convention Center. This unforgettable evening will bring together elegant dining and gourmet cuisine, high-energy live entertainment, and exciting auctions filled with one-of-a-kind experiences — all while giving guests the chance to make a meaningful difference for kids and families across our community. Every moment of generosity — helps Children’s Mercy deliver world-class care and advance critical programs that strengthen children’s mental health through the Illuminate initiative.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, last year’s Red Hot Night raised more than $4 million to support Children’s Mercy. In 2026, we’re aiming even higher.
Your support fuels innovative research, groundbreaking treatments, and compassionate care — shining a light on every child’s tomorrow.
