2024 First Responders Trivia Night Was a Hit!

Our 5th Annual ATC Trivia Night was an amazing night and wow, what a huge success! Our initial total dollar amount raised was $127,379.22, until this past Friday when one of our donors decided to make that number a nice round one! Now our new total amount fundraised is $130,000.00!! It was an absolutely incredible night and I can’t thank you all enough for joining us in the success!! 

ATC recently had our end of year board meeting, I didn’t want to put our end of year donation amounts out until I knew the numbers were right. Year to date, ATC has donated more than $247,000 back to Missouri and Kansas First Responders. We are meeting a “need” in our first responder community that has never been met in the history of our two states and we are meeting it head-on, thanks to all of you!! It is hard to believe ATC is the only resource for our first responders after they survive a critical incident, or are diagnosed with a rare and aggressive illness, but we are and we are up for the challenge!! So, thank you for the overwhelming support and believing in our mission. With these current numbers, it’s hard to believe, but, we have donated more than $1.3million back to KC Metro area first responders in 9.5 short years. These numbers show the “NEED” is ever present and the support from all of you, is incredible! Thank you…  

2023 First Responders Trivia Night Answered Correctly!

Getting right into it, our 4th Annual Trivia Night was another huge success, donations are still coming in, but, our last grand total for funds raised has exceeded $120,000! We hope those of you that were able to attend enjoyed the evening with us, several of you have reached out complimenting us on another wonderful, fun, yet impactful evening…thank you for the kind words!

We are already looking forward to next year’s event and our mission is to make it better than the previous year, so get ready ATC Trivia fans, the 5th annual is going to be incredible! We will shoot out the event date as soon as we get the date secured through Stoney Creek….so stay tuned!

These funds raised couldn’t have been more timely, year to date (2023) we have donated more than $133,000 back to KC Metro area First Responders and their families. This total pushes us over $720,000 donated back since our inception, eight (8) short years ago. We are stepping into the lives of the very best of Kansas City. ATC is exposing the “need” within our first responder community that has never been met before and I can’t thank you ALL enough for joining me in this mission and supporting those who have vowed to serve and protect our community!

Our big “ask” this year is our $9.11 monthly recurring donation initiative (flyer attached). Give “any” affordable amount that you won’t miss, ending in $9.11 (Examples: $9.11, $29.11, $59.11 etc), to support our mission. By simply scanning the QR code, or by clicking the direct link below, you can set up a very impactful monthly donation via our PayPal account. We believe that the power of many people making small donations, creates a force that reaches far beyond what any of us can afford to do on our own. If you are already giving every month, THANK YOU for believing in our mission and stepping out in faith to support Answering the Call, month, after month, after month! Our goal is to get 3,000 supporters to donate and share this initiative and help ATC be more impactful to our First Responder community when they themselves are in need!

The 2022 First Responders Trivia Night was a Success!

This year, 2023, marks our 4th year hosting our ATC Trivia Night Fundraiser. This event has grown into a 400+ person event of fun, food, drinks, trivia, some great silent auction items, and most of all, an amazing night raising funds to assist our KC Metro area first responders, during their time of need.

Last year’s event raised an unbelievable $110,000 and this year we hope to surpass that number. In just 5 short months of 2023, ATC has already donated $105,000 back to our area first responders in need. The KC Metro area had 7 Officers shot in a seven week time-frame, in three separate incidents. ATC was involved with their respective departments/families immediately after all three incidents. Without the support of our amazing community, ATC would not be in a place to step into these heroes’ lives and support them when they need it most.

So, mark your calendars for our 4th Annual Trivia Night; our event date is set for September 16th, 2023. We will again be hosting this event at Stoney Creek Hotel in Independence, more details about registration and times will be forthcoming. We are excited to see everyone again this year, we hope you can make it out!
