The Bed Race
Running of the Beds is a fun community festival that will rally support for Flourish, Kansas City’s furniture bank. The main event will be a bed race in which teams build their own bed on wheels and race for prizes. There will also be food trucks on site, ticketed field games, and musical performances from local artists including Mr. Stinky Feet. 20-30 community partners will be invited to set up booths for an outdoor fair, and we’ll collect small household goods in our box trucks in the parking lot. The event is free to attend and register for, however teams are asked to raise a total of $500 through race sponsorships.
About Flourish
Flourish is the only furniture bank in Kansas City that provides an entire home of furnishings to families overcoming housing insecurity. Our mission is simple: we collect and refurbish donated furniture and housewares, then distribute them to families through a dignified shopping appointment. Through community referrals, we equip families with furniture, beds, soft goods, and housewares to invest in their long-term success in a new home. Flourish's unique model of collaboration between volunteers, donors, and families is both environmentally and socially impactful.
