Members of the Barton County Young Professionals (BCYP) and their families are invited to attend Party With a Purpose (in person), from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday Dec. 1, at The Fieldhouse, 2817 9th Street.

The holiday party is one of the many ways YP members give back to the community, and this year’s event is no exception. The “party with a purpose” combines holiday merriment with an opportunity to give back to children in need in Barton County. This year’s event is sponsored and hosted by The Fieldhouse and Catalyst Therapy and Sports Rehab.

BCYP members will be asked to donate items to build packages for children served by Central Kansas CASA. Attendees are asked to bring items to fill these bags. Assignments (and sizes, if applicable) will be provided to those who RSVP. Donations will be accepted at the Chamber Office now through Dec. 1 for those who can’t attend but still want to participate.

Those who attend will also enjoy excellent food and beverage, games and giveaways.

RSVP is required by Nov. 24 at https://tinyurl.com/bartonyp.

Whether you’re new to BCYP or have attended events before, this is the perfect event for members and guests.
