Nov 21, 2013 | 80 Stories 80 Days
For the past 80 years, Variety of Greater Kansas City has been a charitable force in the Kansas City community – bringing the gift of mobility to children with mental and physical disabilities.
Leading up to this year’s
Variety Show, we’re planning to gather all the stories that represent that history that we possibly can. We want to celebrate the last 80 years and look forward to what is to come in the next 80.
For 80 days leading up to the
Variety Show on March 28, 2014, we will share a different story from families, children, volunteers and other Kansas Citians – and we want to make sure your story is included too.
Share your story with us and we may feature it at the 2014 Variety Show
- Post on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or our Facebook page with #varietyofstories
- Or submit your story, photo or video on our landing page and we’ll share it for you
We hope you’ll help us celebrate our 80th anniversary by sharing the story, memory or experience with Variety that means the most to you. Families and children are what make Varieties so special, and we can’t wait to hear all about your Variety memories.
