A Call for Backup – Providing Support for the KCPD

By Gina Stuelke, CEO of Kenton Brothers.

Congratulations to the Kansas City Police Department on their successful benefit on Friday, February 28^th! Our City’s law enforcement officers hear and see things daily that most of us are fortunate we never have to imagine. The benefit made a difference for the city’s officers by raising support funds for psychologists to help these officers deal with the gruesome and life threatening issues they deal with every day.

Kudos and thanks to Ed Elder (colliers.com) and Mark Thompson (countryclubbank.com) for acting as committee chairs for this year’s successful event with Chief Rick Smith!

I was lucky to try out Officer Sevier’s motorcycle and learn from SWAT specialists that joined our table for dinner.

Shout out to Dave and Holly Brucker and Todd and Melissa Howerton from StolenKC, who were also at our table. They do great work in helping Kansas Citians reclaim stolen vehicles and property (stolenkc.com).
