The 2025 Southeast Kansas Holiday Ball & Auction, presented by the Foundation for CLASS, was held on Saturday, November 15 in the Ballroom of the Overman Student Center on the campus of Pittsburg State University. The event was extra special as CLASS was celebrating 50 years of enhancing the lives of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities in Southeast Kansas.

More than 130 guests attended the event and enjoyed an evening of formal dining and dancing as well as live and silent benefit auctions. Proceeds from the event directly benefit individuals with I/DD in Southeast Kansas through the Foundation for CLASS by assisting with crucial needs that are beyond their available resources.
