For 52 years, Snow Ball has been a legacy of love for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. This year, we are honored to celebrate that legacy through the 52nd Annual Snow Ball gala on January 17, 2026 at the Overland Park Convention Center.  

Snow Ball is more than a great party. It’s a celebration of many months of hard work by teams of volunteers. Unique in the fact that there is NO fundraising at the event, Snow Ball truly sets itself apart as one of the biggest and best parties of the year. 

Your participation – either through a patron gift or by purchasing tables or tickets – enables Catholic Charities to change lives, spark hope and build brighter tomorrows for more than 74,000 served each year throughout our communities. Although Snow Ball raises significant funds, even if we raised more, there would still be needs in our community to be met.

Join us for this epic celebration of gratitude, love and life-changing hope!

Join First Command Financials Services, Matt Anderson, for a complimentary, virtual presentation to break down budgeting and goal-based financial planning.

You are invited to a Special Dinner Lecture with the CGSC Foundation Feb. 2, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
in the atrium of the Lewis and Clark Center on Fort Leavenworth.

Reception at 5:30 p.m. • Buffet Dinner at 6 p.m. • Presentation at 7 p.m.

The CGSC Foundation’s special guest dinner on Feb. 2 features guest speaker Peter Mansoor, Ph.D. Mansoor has served as the General Raymond E. Mason Jr. Chair of Military History at Ohio State University since September 2008, following a 26-year career in the U.S. Army. He is a retired colonel and frequent media commentator on national security affairs.

A 1982 distinguished graduate of the United States Military Academy, Mansoor served in a variety of command and staff positions in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East during his military career. Among his many assignments, Mansoor served as the founding director of the U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he helped to edit the counterinsurgency field manual, which was used to reshape the conduct of the Iraq War. In the fall of 2006 he also served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff Council of Colonels that reexamined the strategy for the war in Iraq. He ended his Army career as executive officer to Gen. David Petraeus, then commanding general of Multi-National Force–Iraq, during the 2007–08 surge.

Mansoor is the author of several books including The GI Offensive in Europe: The Triumph of American Infantry Divisions, 1941–45 (winner of the Society for Military History and Army Historical Society distinguished book awards in 2000); Baghdad at Sunrise: A Brigade Commander’s War in Iraq; and Surge: My Journey with Gen. David Petraeus and the Remaking of the Iraq War. His most recent book, Redemption: MacArthur and the Campaign for the Philippines, is a comprehensive military history of the Philippines campaign in WWII, focusing on MacArthur’s return to liberate the islands following his defeat in 1942. The book re-evaluates MacArthur’s controversial leadership, balancing his brilliance and strategic success with his egotism.

Mansoor is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion. His research interests include modern U.S. military history, World War II, the Iraq War, and counterinsurgency warfare.
