2016 KCRSCCA Awards Banquet

Ritz Charles Overland Park

About this event


The Kansas City Region SCCA will hold it's 2016 Awards Banquet on Saturday, January 28th, 2017 at the Ritz Charles in Overland Park, KS. This is a new venue for our Awards Banquet, and so how the evening progresses will be new as well. The first difference is that this will be a plated dinner rather than a buffet. That means we can continue our conversations, gossip, and bragging about our racing accomplishments while the staff brings our food to us! This does mean that you will need to make your menu selections when you register.

The cost is $25 per person and you may submit your payment at the time you register, or at the door the night of the banquet. The dress is business casual. No fire suits, please. Helmets are optional.

Schedule

  • Cocktails at 5:00 pm (cash bar)
  • Dinner Service 6:00 pm
  • Awards Ceremony at 7:00 pm

Menu

  • Garden Salad and Breadsticks
  • Choice of Lasagna or Chicken Alfredo (submit choice with RSVP)
  • Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce
  • Beverages include water, tea, or coffee
  • Cocktails and other soft drinks may be purchased at the cash bar.

Event requirements

In addition to the meal, awards, and general camaraderie, there will be a silent auction and a money tree in support of Variety KC GoBabyGo! Powered by Rockhurst University. GoBabyGo! is now a nationwide organization dedicated to turning ordinary electric toy cars into cost-effective alternatives to expensive electric wheelchairs for mobility-challenged children. These cars do more for a child than mobility- children who achieve self-directed mobility, whether on their own or using some sort of assistive device, experience more social interactions, which leads to better communication skills. Exploration of their environment leads to improved cognition and memory and better spatial awareness.
