Camp for a Cause 2021

Presented by

Saturday, October 9th at 6:30pm at The Truman

Dust off your hiking boots and gather your team of 4-8 players to compete in KyMel’s annual Camp for a Cause, presented by Priority Care Pediatrics! Each team will test their strategy, precision, and knowledge as you compete to get your name etched on the coveted Camp for a Cause trophy.

To top this year’s camping experience off, KyMel is teaming up with Kansas City’s renowned Tiki Mixologist, Tiki D to create some one-of-a-kind rum-based cocktails! We invite you to join us as we sip on Tiki cocktails, play unique games, eat nostalgic bites, bid on auction items, and raise our glasses for a good cause! This fun evening will be emceed by Kim Byrnes from FOX 4.

Through Camp Hope and Camp SIBsational, KyMel’s mission is to support families on the cancer journey by providing connecting experiences. Every dollar donated goes directly to helping families–regardless of financial ability– temporarily forget about cancer. Will you participate in Camp and Cocktails for a Cause as a sponsor, donor and/or attendee so we can preserve our legacy of providing camps at no cost to the children we serve?

We can’t wait to see you at Camp For A Cause on October 9th at 6:30 PM. Your support will help KyMel provide connecting experiences for local kids facing cancer!

Featured Special Guests:

KIM BYRNES anchors and reports the news at 9am and noon. Kim came to FOX 4 in 1997. She began her career here as a general assignment reporter before getting promoted to anchor of the weekend evening shows.
Kim has been telling stories since she was a child. With a captive audience in her sixth grade class, she turned a three minute speech into 27 minutes. Her teacher told her it was a school record and she hasn’t stopped talking since.
In her spare time, which is rare, she loves to hang out with her three kids, shop, travel and fish. One of her proudest moments is reeling in a 25 pound king salmon in Alaska, which she showed off to fellow travelers at Kansas City International Airport upon landing. The baggage claim area has never quite smelled the same.
Kim has also worked as an anchor, reporter and photographer in Springfield, Missouri and Pittsburg, Kansas. She loves Kansas City and plans to call it home for a long time to come.

TIKI D has been in the hospitality industry since she was 16. She worked her way up from being a host to eventually becoming a bartender which is where she found my passion. She was always mesmerized by the bartender’s dance and eventually got the chance to start bartending at 21 years old. By the time she was 24 she got a job at a tiki bar where her career changed forever. She fell in love with the creative drinks, history and community that tiki culture comes from. When the pandemic happened it closed the tiki bar where she used to bartend. That pushed her to be creative in ways she could survive and keep the tiki scene alive in Kansas City. She knew from working at TikiCat that they had something very special and she hopes to do the same with Condor’s Cove but put her own twist on it. Condor’s Cove is a reflection of her own culture upbringing, community, collaboration, and passion for hospitality.

Thank you to our 2021 sponsors!
