About FashionAbility
Each year the Kansas City community comes together at Gala FashionAbility to celebrate the accomplishments, hopes and dreams of individuals with disabilities. Funds raised ensure they receive education, fitness and arts, and access to PawsAbilities skills training and meaningful jobs they desire!
The mission of Inclusion Connections is to strengthen the lives of individuals with disabilities by creating inclusive opportunities for community involvement, access to meaningful employment, and better options for independent living.
