Game Changers Gala 2025

Celebrate remarkable people, businesses, and organizations.

Game Changers Gala is W's annual celebration of the remarkable impact young professionals and organizations are making in our community. Join us as we honor the achievements of several young professionals and the businesses and organizations making significant efforts to support young talent in our community and the region. The evening will also feature a look back at W’s past year, recognition of our outgoing and incoming board members, and a few words from W’s 2026 Chair as we look ahead. It’s the perfect night to dress sharp, celebrate big, and be part of the community shaping Wichita’s future.
