Here is a sneak peek of Carol Spencer’s gorgeous doll – CSA Silver Anniversary Barbie® Doll. She was the last doll designed by Carol while working at Mattel. It was originally auctioned to benefit the 25th Anniversary of the Costume Society of America with Carol purchasing her back to add to her own collection. Half of the proceeds from this one doll will once again benefit the Costume Society of America.

During Wednesday evening’s Go See Welcome Reception our talented Live Auction Artists will be available with their stunning creations.  Please feel free to take pictures, chat with the artists about their designs and plot your bidding strategy.  As with the Silent Auction, cash, checks and credit cards will be graciously accepted.

Our Charity

Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City is one of the best possible pediatric medical centers in the nation: “Child” Magazine has named Children’s Mercy one of the top 10 children’s hospitals in America; and the American Nurses Credentialing Center has awarded Children’s Mercy its rare magnet designation for the high quality of their patient care.  

For more than 100 years, the professionals of Children’s Mercy have been helping children toward a healthy future. That remains their quest today, creating a place of endless possibilities, a place for all the children. A place that is eager to explore, passionate to discover and dedicated to asking …How high is the sky?
