Children’s Mercy – 2023 Red Hot Night

February 4th outdoors? Brrr! February 4th at the Kansas City Convention Center? Ahhh. That was the evening for the 19th annual Red Hot Night gala, which was hosted by the Red Hot Night board. Proceeds benefited pediatric research at Children’s Mercy. Angela Hurt and Anita and Dean Newton were the honorary co-chairs, and the co-chairs were Meagan Dowell and Michael Condon. Dustin Colquitt and Hartzell Gray served as the emcees. The agenda featured cocktails, a gourmet dinner by Storia Fine Catering, performance art by Quixotic, the musical stylings of Casi Joy with The Suburbans, and a variety of  auction packages.
