Ali O’Grady
Community Liaison Officer
She is responsible for coordinating community events, communicating with families regarding Variety KC grants, and keeping the Variety KC family at the forefront of all things inclusive. Prior to becoming a part of Variety KC’s team, she spent ten years as an elementary educator in both Kansas and Missouri which is where her passion for inclusion and accessibility began. Ali was first introduced to Variety KC in 2020 when her son with autism was generously gifted an adaptive tricycle. This gift marked a special moment in their family and sparked a desire to advocate and promote inclusivity within the Kansas City Community. In addition to spending time with her husband, Jordan, and two kids, Blakely and Henry, Ali enjoys the challenge of creating the most inclusive city in the world, right here in Kansas City. Her commitment to breaking barriers and cultivating a community of acceptance and inclusion is what makes her a great asset to Variety KC’s team.
