Join us for the 10Th annual

2025 FOREVER THE FREE STATE GALA

We're excited to announce that on Saturday, August 16th, the Forever the Free State Gala is again returning to the Overland Park Convention Center. We're thrilled to welcome all of you in person for our event.

The annual gala is our primary fundraiser and we look forward to your continued support. Your generous donations keep our local office open year-round, allow us to hire and maintain a professional full-time staff, and fund our get-out-the-vote efforts.

Let’s join together on August 16th to continue building the
