Symphony Seating: KCAOG has arranged for a limited number of VIP passes and VIP seats for the KC Symphony Celebration at the Station patriotic concert.  These are normally reserved by the Symphony for donors as a fundraiser at $500/VIP Pass. However, the Symphony has recognized our Veterans’ event as important to their venue and has given us a special deal. You may reserve your VIP pass/seat for a tax-deductible donation of $25/Pass online along with your dinner reservation.  Passes will be handed out at the dinner. Alternatively, those wishing to attend the concert but without donating for seats may bring their own chairs and sit in the general audience area.

 

Donations:  Those wishing to honor our WWII veterans with a donation towards their dinner may do so upon registration.

Reservations: Due to very limited space in the Belvedere Private Dining room, early reservations are highly recommended.  Registration will close on Sunday, May 19th at midnight. Cancellation deadline for refunds is also 19 May.  Those wishing to attend after reservations are closed may sign up on a waiting list in this registration.  They will be contacted if reservations become available for them.
