The PFLAG National Convention will provide major opportunities for networking, while offering workshops, panel discussions, and nationally renowned speakers to be motivated by and learn from. You’ll also enjoy our PFLAG National Awards ceremony during which we will honor those who are making a difference across the country, and whose efforts we can learn from and mirror in the coming year. In between sessions, you’ll have free time to enjoy all that Kansas City has to offer, whether you’re a foodie, a BBQ aficionado, a history buff, an art lover, or all of the above!

You're all set. A copy of your receipt will be emailed to you. Take a moment to get prepared for the convention.
Our official convention shirts are ready for order! Choose from a vintage-inspired design based on the one worn in the late 1980s by former PFLAG National board president and longtime PFLAG activist Paulette Goodman, or a Kansas City-themed design featuring the Kansas City official seal. Both designs leave room for you to personalize your look with your chapter name, a favorite PFLAG slogan, or to tell the world, "Equality Starts With Me!" The only limits are about 25-30 characters and your imagination.
On Friday, October 25, at 2:00 PM you’re invited to participate in PFLAG Gives Back for an afternoon of service, as we offer our time and talent to help local nonprofits like Operation Breakthrough, the Kansas City Anti Violence Project, the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, and KC Pet Project. With support from Subaru and the Walmart Foundation, you will complete several DIY projects – including at least one project for folks with limited mobility. We will also be hosting a donation drive as a part of PFLAG Gives Back. Please consider packing items to donate. We’ll be collecting varied items including non-perishable food, gently used blankets and towels, school and art supplies, diapers and baby wipes, and more. Gift cards for nationally based chains are also a great way to give back if you're worried about space in your suitcase. And for those feeling creative, we’ll have space set up on-site throughout the weekend to create holiday cards and love notes for LGBTQ+ youth accessing services at KC Passages. If you have any questions please send them directly to jhenkel@pflag.org.
This is not your grandma’s bingo! On Friday, October 25, 2019 at 7:00pm, PFLAG Kansas City will be the beneficiary of Hamburger Mary's Drag Bingo in October. You're invited to play and help raise funds for our host chapter. Funds raised at BINGO will purchase literature to educate many and provide scholarships to LGBTQ High School Seniors. In 2019, in partnership with GLSEN, PFLAG-KC was able to provide $2,000 in scholarships to two deserving Kansas City area LGBTQ High School Seniors! This year we plan to award three scholarships! BINGO prizes include Gay Pride Bow Tie, “Party in a Room” Baskets, Amazon gift cards, Bistro 303, Phoenix Salon, SAZZY’s Ragazza Italian Ristorante, Fashionista Exchange, Bravada Wig & Extension Salon, Be Who You Are and more! Space is limited and you'll need to reserve your spot by Friday, October 11th. You can sign up for just yourself or for your group if you want to sit together.
