Inclusion becomes real when a community decides it matters. At EMBRACE the Harvest Moon, that community raised a net total of $563,000 for inclusive Catholic education. Thank you to our sponsors, guests, and volunteers for a night we won’t forget. Your generosity will help students with disabilities and learning differences across our Archdiocese find their place to belong. Thank you for embracing every learner!

What a night! EMBRACE the Harvest Moon brought together sponsors, families, and friends from across our community. And together, you made this our best event yet.

Thank you to every sponsor who invested in inclusive Catholic education, every guest who showed up to celebrate with us, and everyone behind the scenes who made Saturday night possible. Your generosity is already at work...funding the resources, training, and support that help every student in our Archdiocese's Catholic schools find their place to belong.

From all of us at EMBRACE, thank you! We couldn't do this without you. 💙💚🩵

The right support, offered at just the right moment, can change the whole shape of a student's year. That kind of support doesn't happen without people willing to fund it.

Thank you to our Bronze Seeds of Hope Sponsor, Henry & Jackie Massman.

We're so grateful for your generosity and everything it makes possible for students across our Archdiocese!

'There's still moms out there like me who cried when they were told their child couldn't come to a Catholic school. And that should never, ever happen.' That's how one EMBRACE mom describes why this work matters so much to her family. Because of EMBRACE, more of our Catholic schools now welcome children with different learning needs and abilities… but we're not done, and there are still schools, families, and children we haven't reached yet.

If you're with us Saturday night at EMBRACE the Harvest Moon, this is why it matters: raise your paddle, open your heart, and help us close the gap so every family gets a yes.

Two live auction items, two completely different vibes. Bring the fiesta home with a taco truck for 50 guests…no prep, no cleanup, just great food and great company. Or enjoy a rare evening of fellowship with Archbishop McKnight at The Capital Grille. However you like to gather, one of these is calling your name.

Behind every bid at EMBRACE the Harvest Moon is a kid: one who needs a specialist, a grant-funded resource, or a scholarship to fully belong in their Catholic school here in the Archdiocese of Kansas City. Bid big at EMBRACE the Harvest Moon and be part of making that happen. 🌮💙

Envision waking up to water views, spending the day on your own private dock, and ending it around on the deck with lake views as the sky turns pink over the lake. The kind of trip where the only agenda is being together. This is the best of !
Even better, every bid helps fund grants, specialists, and scholarships for kids with disabilities and learning differences in our Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Kansas City. Bid big at EMBRACE the Harvest Moon — take the trip, make the memories, change a kid's school year at the same time! 🌅💙
