Philanthropist Katie Wendel knows the charity circuit well. Her social calendar is packed with benefit galas, and she’s constantly solicited for donations.
But it wasn’t until this art teacher began working in the urban core that she found a cause that tugged at her heart and her pocketbook.
“My epiphany started when I began working with kids who didn’t have all the advantages,” said Wendel, who teaches at Holy Name School in Kansas City, Kan. She takes her students to art museums, jazz and modern dance performances, and the theater."
