SOS has announced its honorary chairs for the 10th annual Hope-A-Palooza next month.
Rick and Colleen Mitchell were nominated for the honor in part for their support to the agency as well as their all-around service to the local community according to SOS Director Connie Cahoone.
The Mitchell’s have resided in Emporia since the mid-1970s and have been heavily involved in the community from a philanthropic standpoint supporting various agencies and causes over the years. Colleen Mitchell says they have a great love for Emporia and being able to give back is the best way they know how to show it.
Hope-A-Palooza is SOS’ largest annual fundraiser and will take place Friday, Mar. 31 at the Bowyer Community Building. The theme for this year’s fundraiser is “Hope Under the Big Top.”
The night will include dinner, drinks, awards and a live auction with all proceeds going directly back to the agency. For questions or more information visit SOSKansas.com/Hope-A-Palooza or call 620-343-8799.
