This year's event included a live and silent auction, hors d' oeuvres & beverages. The KC Ambassadors is a close knit group of former Chiefs players who continue to serve the community. Gala proceeds this year went to the Police Athletic League. Kendall Gammon, a longtime long snapper for the Chiefs, called it a great evening.
