Join Us For An Amazing Night

KCFAA’s annual gala goes virtual! Join us as we celebrate the centennial year of legendary jazz saxophonist, composer and Kansas City’s own, Charlie Parker during the Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey Annual Benefit Gala. This celebration promises to be an unforgettable evening as Charlie Parker is honored with a newly commissioned dance work, A Jam Session for Troubling Times. The Gala will feature presentations and performances from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, AileyCamp the Group, and our Gala honoree Bobby Watson. Experience the Ailey magic from the comfort of your home. Purchase a sponsorship and receive a gourmet dinner and drinks. 

Your support helps KCFAA educate and inspire more than 25,000 people each year. Through our AileyCamp, In-School and Studio programs, we create positive change in the youth we serve. Since 1984, our efforts have reached more than 1.2 million.
