Tickets are now on sale for Keys for Change, United Way of Central Kansas’ annual kickoff fundraiser, taking place Saturday, Aug. 1, at the Columbus Club in Great Bend.
Back by popular demand, the Colorado Keys return for an evening of high-energy entertainment, music, laughter, and community impact.
Tickets are $60 per person and include dinner and entertainment. Guests will also have opportunities to participate in a silent and live auction and a 50/50 raffle.
Funds raised support United Way of Central Kansas’ work alongside 18 local nonprofit partners and impact programs including Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Laundry Love, Reality U, Stuff the Bus, Auto Care Access, and Companion Support Bags.
“Keys for Change is more than a fundraiser. It is a fun night out with friends, incredible entertainment, and an opportunity to come together as a community to support families, create brighter futures for youth, and build a stronger, more resilient Central Kansas,” said Charell Owings, Executive Director of United Way of Central Kansas.
Every ticket purchased helps support local families and programs across Barton and Pawnee Counties, ensuring neighbors have access to resources and opportunities to thrive.
Sponsorship opportunities remain available, and United Way of Central Kansas is still accepting silent and live auction donations. Businesses and community members interested in supporting the event through sponsorships, experiences, gift certificates, travel packages, entertainment items, or other auction contributions are encouraged to reach out.
