Holiday Concert Series Featuring Oleta Adams, Chris Mann & The Kansas City Symphony

It's that time of year again: baking cookies, buying gifts, and throwing parties are just a small bunch of activities on your to-do list this season. Take a break from all the hard work the holidays can bring to just relax and celebrate the season. The Kauffman Center and First Downs for Down Syndrome bring you one such event to get you in the holiday spirit.

Known for his success on The Voice, Chris Mann will work his vocal magic at the 4th Annual Holiday Concert Series. Along with Mann, soulful vocalist Oleta Adams will come together with the Kansas City Symphony tonight to perform Holiday classics in honor of First Downs for Down Syndrome. Don't miss this unique combination of artists in support of a worthy cause.

See you tonight, and Happy Holidays!

First Downs for
Down Syndrome:
Gaining Ground for a Winning Cause

For 20+ seasons First Downs for Down Syndrome (FDFDS) has teamed with the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line and area sponsors to raise money for individuals in our community with Down syndrome. For each first down made, funds are raised to support individuals with Down syndrome.

The mission of First Downs for Down Syndrome is to raise money for the Down Syndrome Guild, the Down Syndrome Clinic at Children’s Mercy Hospital and other Down syndrome organizations; to raise awareness of Down syndrome and the services of Down Syndrome Clinic at Children's Mercy Hospital.
