Kindness can have a transformative and ripple effect in eliminating violence in our community. That’s why we celebrate it each year through our Kindest Kansas Citian essay contest and awards dinner.

Our 20th Annual Kindest Kansas Citian Awards Dinner was Saturday, May 15, 2010 at The InterContinental on the Plaza.
