Greetings!  

I am so excited to announce to our CCO family a special event we have been helping to organize: the Kansas City premiere of The Raising of America. This documentary explores how a strong start for all children can lead to a healthier and more prosperous nation.

 

In this special sneak preview, you will also hear from an expert panel on what we can do as a society to ensure every child in Kansas City has the opportunity to thrive. Our panel, moderated by KCPT's Nick Haines, includes:
