Spencer Fane was honored to be a Gold Sponsor for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC) 2024 Spark of Hope Gala. Firm clients and other guests attended the September 21 event alongside attorney Wale Akinmoladun.
The annual gala raised a record $1,173,000 to support RMHC-KC’s ongoing mission to reduce the burden of childhood illness while honoring the “spark of hope” the organization provides sick children and their families. Held at the Loews Hotel, the gala provided attendees with an elevated food and cocktail experience, auctions, live entertainment, and continued fun at the Spark After Dark after-party.
At Spencer Fane, Wale represents school districts, health and commercial insurance companies, and other businesses and individuals involved in state and federal litigation, and administrative fair hearing appeals. Wale has been a fervent supporter of RMHC-KC since the nonprofit provided his family with lodging and other services in 2012 during a family health crisis. He currently serves on the organization’s Board of Directors alongside other dedicated professionals and volunteers, and he helped organize a summer associate volunteer day at the RMHC-KC Wylie House.
