Join us November 14th 2025 

Get ready for an evening of inspiration, dinner, and celebration at 

Benilde Hall’s Back in Black Gala at The Rumely Historic Event Space.

Enjoy a delicious meal prepared by Kyle's of Kyle's Kitchen, a proud Benilde Hall graduate in recovery, whose culinary talent and journey reflect the heart of our mission. 

Dinner will be accompanied by inspiring stories from our Executive Director Erin Fraser and staff, fun & games, and a stunning art showcase featuring works from our clients, staff, and a special guest artist.

Don’t miss out on a sneak peek at the Silent Auction, filled with unique items and experiences that directly support Benilde Hall’s recovery and housing programs, and three live-auction vacation packages, offering unforgettable getaways!

Before dinner, stop for a red-carpet photo with “Taylor Swifffft-ish” — because every great night deserves a little star power.

We’re honored to welcome Sly James as our emcee for the evening, bringing his signature Kansas City energy, humor, and heart to the stage.
