Blaze of Glory

Blaze of Glory — Online for 2020

Due to limitations on large gatherings, the 2020 Blaze of Glory Gala will be an online auction this year. While we will certainly miss the fellowship and community building (and dancing!) that this event provides, we are excited about the opportunity to reach supporters around the country that normally may not have been able to participate. There will be lots of great auction items to bid on, a fun surprise from the Art Department, as well as new games of chance. We hope we can count on your support as we blaze new trails this year!

Mystery Giveaway

Thanks to our friends at KT Diamond Jewelers, EACH time you place a new bid on an item in the online auction, you will be entered to win our mystery item, valued at $6,000! For example, if you bid once on one item, you will receive 1 entry; if you bid five times on that item, you will receive 5 entries. We intend to draw the winner of the item during a Facebook live stream on Saturday, November 14 with Kyle and Tracy Batisch.

Football Squares

Due to the postponement of the Mizzou-Georgia football game this weekend, we are going to pivot our Football Squares contest to the Chiefs-Raiders game on November 22 at 7:20 p.m. If you have already reserved a square, your square for the new game will be added automatically. For every $100 donated to our Trailblazer Fund between now and whenever we sell out, we will randomly assign you to one square on our grid. There will be 100 squares available. Click HERE to donate online.

Winning scores will be based on the score at the end of each quarter. For example, if the score at the end of the game is 49-0 (Chiefs, of course), the person whose name is in the square that aligns with 9 in the top column and 0 in the left column would be the winner. Must be 18 or older to enter.

Winners will be as follows:
