About This Event

Prepare to be moved. This isn't just another networking lunch — it's an opportunity to hear one of the most powerful origin stories in Lee's Summit nonprofit history. 


The Story: When pediatric ER physician Doc Hunsley lost his 5-year-old son Mark to Dravet Syndrome and Epilepsy, he channeled his grief into purpose. Ten months later, he launched SOAR Special Needs. Today, Mark "Bubba" Hunsley is SOAR's Chief Inspiration Officer, and his legacy touches every family the organization serves.
