On February 27th, the HALO Foundation celebrated it's 10th year at their annual Art Auction. Besides celebrating the Art Auction, HALO made the event a birthday bash to honor all of they youth they support who don't know when their actual birthday is due to their circumstances.
Two HALO Learning Center - KC youth were asked to speak at the event about how HALO - KC has "made their wish come true". The night ended with a dance party with live music from local band, Lost Wax.
HALO youth, staff, volunteers, and supporters all came together on this one magical night to celebrate 10 years of empowering youth in the greatest need. Overall, from beginning to end, every second was a fun, creative, and energetic celebration of the HALO Foundation, and even more importantly, the youth they support.
