Lesley Shekelton is delighted to be chairing the 2025 Gala, Together We Shine: A Night for Hope and Healing. Lesley serves on the Friends of Ranken Jordan Advisory Board and has become a champion for the mission. She supports every event and opportunity to make a difference for the patients and their families. She is a passionate volunteer and community leader, serving on boards for other wonderful nonprofits in the region like Missouri Baptist Hospital, Second Chance Ranch, Pink Ribbon Good and Baking Memories 4Kids. 

This year, Lesley is helping us reach for the stars to innovate to find new ways to support Ranken Jordan families. She believes that TOGETHER we can make a huge difference for these families if we Shine a Light on their incredible stories. Lesley shares her deepest gratitude to all who have sponsored and supported the Gala this year, and hopes you enjoy this inspiring evening of Hope and Healing! 

Together We Shine:
A Night for Hope & Healing

Join us for an evening under the stars as we come together to raise crucial funds for the hospital. Our hope is to not only support these families while they are at Ranken Jordan but support the child and their families beyond discharge.
Families of children with complex medical needs must have extraordinary support. By developing and expanding new programs, the community can wrap healing and support around these vulnerable neighbors.
