Why Your Support Matters to Kaleb & Sam
Kaleb Stoppel, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones, joined Top Model to have fun, meet new people, and support an amazing cause. As a former school administrator, one of the roles he took the most pride in was supporting students with special needs, which is how he first became aware of Inclusion Connections. Kaleb is excited to rock the runway with Sam Husby, who loves hanging out with friends, singing, wrestling, playing baseball, and trying new foods. He attends Olathe Northwest, and dreams of attending JCCC after graduation, all while chasing his dream of becoming a musical performer. Fun fact: he’s also a great rapper with impressive moves!
Support Kaleb & Sam’s campaign to help Inclusion Connections create even more opportunities for students like Sam.

About Inclusion Connections
Inclusion Connections empowers young adults with developmental disabilities to pursue their goals and thrive. From job training and employment at PawsAbilities, to theater, arts, and fitness programs, to the future BelongKC supportive living community, every program is designed to build independence and belonging.
FashionAbility is our signature fundraiser that makes these life-changing opportunities possible and every team on the runway represents the dreams of our students.

The Impact of Your Gift
Your donation doesn’t just support an event — it changes lives. A gift of $50 provides transportation so a student can get to work. With $100, you can cover an entire week of job coaching. A contribution of $250 opens the door for students to take part in arts and fitness programs that build confidence and friendships. And a generous gift of $500+ helps us move closer to building BelongKC, our future supportive living community.
When you give to Kaleb & Sam's campaign, you’re investing directly in Sam’s dreams and creating opportunities for him and his friends at IC to thrive.
