  • Dear Friend,

    This June, we invite you to stand with us in something deeply meaningful—not just to our family, but to our entire community.

    On Friday, June 27, 2025, at 6:30 PM at The Little Theater, we will gather for an unforgettable evening hosted by The Black Repertory Theatre of Kansas City. This special event honors the lives of Sterling and Sha’kyi—two beautiful children whose memories have inspired a mission of hope, healing, and creativity.

    In partnership with The Black Rep, we are launching a free summer performing arts program for children in Kansas City. This program will give young people a safe, nurturing space to discover their voices, express their stories, and build confidence through theater, movement, music, and community.

    The Black Repertory Theatre has long been a vital force in preserving Black culture and connecting generations through performance. Now, we ask you to help us extend that impact—by opening doors for children who might not otherwise have access to the arts.

    The event will include an open bar, hors d’ oeuvres, passed plates, valet service, and joyful celebration. Cocktail attire is encouraged.

    We are seeking sponsors and contributors who believe in the power of the arts to transform lives. Your support will directly fund this summer program and offer a lasting legacy in honor of two young lives.

    Please consider joining us.

    With gratitude,

    Kiva & Bianca Gates
