Starry Night at Starlight
Summer 2022 (Exact Date TBA)
Each year, this annual community fundraiser highlights a different class of All-Stars, a group of 20 of Kansas City’s most dynamic charitable movers and shakers.
Starry Night at Starlight includes tickets to the Saturday evening performance of one of Starlight’s Broadway shows, and features a pre-show cocktail hour with delicious food from local restaurants and food trucks, and a post-show dance party.
Funds raised from the event directly benefit Starlight’s Bob Rohlf Internships program, which generously provides paid summer internships to college students across multiple departments. The 2021 event helped raise more than $100,000 in support of Starlight’s Bob Rohlf Internships program.
This event is hosted by Young Friends of Starlight and is intended for ALL Starlight supporters 21+!
Please check back soon for information on the 2022 Starry Night at Starlight event!
The 2022 All-Stars will be announced in early 2022. Please check back!
