Join us as we celebrate the power of transformation!
Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi (kin-soo-gee), where broken pottery is repaired with gold-infused tree sap, our event honors the beauty found in imperfection and resilience.
Just as Kintsugi transforms broken pottery into stunning works of art, our organization helps transform lives. We embrace life’s challenges and empower those often overlooked by society to rebuild and flourish.
Join us for an evening filled with inspiration and hope as we come together to witness the power of resilience and the beauty of embracing imperfection. The event will be hosted by Chief’s Safety, Justin Reid. It will include a silent auction, a panel discussion with program graduates, followed by a live auction.
Please register below for online tickets. You may also register by emailing Julia Lloyd at jlloyd@jtnl.org and then mailing in a check to 3120 Troost Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64109.
We can’t wait to see you.
