About the event
There's a reason why Johnny Waller Jr. is LIFTKC's new partner. His life experience is one of struggle, pain, poverty, prejudice, and perseverance, and it needs to be told. I've sat with my friend, Johnny, for hours upon hours over the last few years, and let me tell you, Kansas City is lucky to have him. Join us, as we hear his story, learn what he's doing now to build a better path for young people in our urban core, and what we can do to help.
"When you know your neighbors, you won't let them fail." Come meet your neighbor, Johnny Waller Jr.
