A Night of Hope-Presented by Leadership Lenexa Class of 2018

A Night of Hope-Presented by Leadership Lenexa Class of 2018

The 2018 Leadership Lenexa class presents a public forum and panel discussion on the topics of teen suicide and prevention on Thursday, May 31 from 5:30pm-7:30pm.

The forum is hosted by Shawnee Mission Medical Center, in the Rodgers Conference Center.

WDAF Fox4 is the event media partner with John Holt, Emmy award winning news anchor moderating the discussion.

 

This event is presented in recognition of the Tom Karlin Foundation.  Your attendance will help demonstrate the strong committment of our various leaders and agencies in our community to this important subject.  While no county, school district or municipality is completely immune to the tragedy of suicide, we believe through "A Night of HOpe" the dialogue will generate meaningful thoughts and solutions in the fight to protect young children and teens.

 

Light refreshments will be served at 5:30pm. This is a free event!
