Uniting Technology and the Arts in a Symphony of Support

Kansas City, Mo.—(April 20, 2024)—Employee-owners from High Touch’s Kansas City office recently celebrated the opportunity to give back to the community in supporting a valued client and partner, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, by helping sponsor and attending the organization’s annual fundraising ball.

The Lyric Opera Ball is the premier fundraising event for the organization, vital to supporting the organization’s year-round activities. According to the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, this year’s theme, A Toast to Opera, “celebrates the rich history and enduring beauty of the timeless art form of opera.”

Each year, the ball features a different theme that influences the event’s décor, entertainment, and atmosphere. This year, “A Toast to Opera” pays homage to the passionate individuals who have devoted their lives to opera—the countless composers, singers, and musicians who have dedicated themselves to the craft.

The evening’s festivities included a thoughtfully curated silent auction, performances, dinner, and dancing to the band Lost Wax.

High Touch’s attended included  Mike McKinne (Sales Executive – ITS), Krystal Church (Strategic Account Executive), Brett Werth (Systems Engineer II – NOC), Greg Survant (Systems Engineer II – ITS), and their guests, including Sydney Mollentine (CEO) from The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City.
