Thank you!
Thank you to the amazing FIRE community that gathered at the Kansas City Convention Center on November 1 to Celebrate Belonging. Together we raised more than $700,000 to support inclusive Catholic education in our diocese.
This incredible achievement will help ensure that students of all abilities can learn and grow together in an environment rooted in faith, community, and friendship. We are truly grateful to everyone who helped making such a meaningful impact.
And a Special Thank You to our Presenting Sponsor:

Then you for helping celebrate FIRE Foundation's Legacy of Inclusive Education
For 29 years, FIRE Foundation has made inclusive education in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph a reality. With the help of funds raised through FIRE Ball, students with learning differences have been able to attend their parish or local Catholic schools with their friends and siblings.
Your participation, whether through sponsorship, underwriting, ticket purchase or donation, provides the critical support that enables FIRE to continue its legacy of inclusion.
This year, we center our event around the theme, Belonging. When you come alongside us in support you help kids find:
- a voice for inclusion
- the foundation of acceptance
YOU ARE the spark that ignites the fire and be the first step in helping a child feel like they BELONG.
