Steer Dinner & Auction 2013
37 Years of Fueling Education

A Record Breaking Night for Avila University

It was a record-breaking evening for Avila University at the 37th Annual Steer Dinner and Auction on Saturday, February 16, 2013, held at the Downtown Kansas City Marriott - Muehlebach Tower. The 600+ attendees generously supported the Avila University Scholarship Fund by raising $614,402 -- an event record for Steer! This year's Steer leadership included John and Nancy McCarthy of McCarthy Auto Group, as honorary chairs, Lauren McCarthy '07 of McCarthy Auto Group, and Ana Valdez '96 of Truman Medical Centers, as event co-chairs. Event entertainment included the Avila University Singers and the Nationally-ranked Avila University Glitter Girls Dance Team. Kelly Jones, host of KCTV 5 Better Kansas City, kept the program fun and moving as our event emcee and The Nigro Brothers made sure the Live Auction was fun for everyone!
