Kansas City
The HALO Headquarters is based in Kansas City, Missouri. HALO was founded in Kansas City in June 2005. The first HALO event was created by a group of martial arts students at Kids2Leaders in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. They raised more than $5,000 for an orphanage in Mexico, and the next event they put on with other area Kansas City schools raised $40,000. This event and others made it possible for us to grow from supporting education for an orphanage in Mexico to fully supporting 46 children in India, three orphanages in Kenya, programs in Uganda, and local programs. HALO Kansas City recently opened for at-risk and foster youth. We are very excited about our growth and look forward to bringing more children off the streets.
