2016 Celebration<br />
of Philanthropy<br />
On Sept. 8, we gathered at the<br />
Olmsted to celebrate the good<br />
work our donors do through<br />
their gifts to Kosair Charities. This annual<br />
event honors members of our W. Barnett<br />
Owen Society, made up of people who have<br />
arranged planned gifts to leave a lasting<br />
legacy for Kosair Kids®; our 982 Society of<br />
donors, whose cumulative lifetime giving<br />
totals $10,000 or more; and our Platinum<br />
1000 Club of generous people who pledge<br />
to give $1,000 or more to Kosair Charities<br />
annually. We also paid tribute to several<br />
friends of Kosair Kids® who passed away this<br />
year and who remembered Kosair Charities<br />
as one of their final acts of kindness.<br />
