For over seven incredible years, the #SnowBallGala has made a lasting impact at OPCC, raising millions to support vital services like food, shelter and disaster relief in Northeast Kansas. In 2024, we hosted nearly 2,200 guests for a 50th-anniversary celebration that featured a beautiful Mass, lively reception and an inspiring program — complete with snow machines, cold sparks and confetti cannons to add a bit of magic to the evening! We’re proud to continue our partnership with Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, whose dedication to uplifting those in need is nothing short of inspiring. It’s an honor to be part of their important work. The next Snow Ball Gala is on Jan. 18, 2025!

Ever wondered what a recycled dish looks like? ?? David Ruiz created this beautiful salmon tartare using parts that are often discarded, like the rich, flavorful salmon belly! By repurposing the belly and blending parsley stems into a house-made oil, he’s crafting delicious, sustainable flavors. Garnished with watermelon radish, pickled cucumber and microgreens, this dish is all about making the most of every ingredient. It’s a taste of sustainability, with a creative twist!
