Kemper, Jr. Foundation, who made a $100,000 donation to the expansion of the museum into the Pony Express National Memorial. The Kemper Foundation's trustee is the Commerce Bank of St. Joseph. Kemper was part of a well known Kansas City Banking family. The foundation created after his death promotes arts, education, and other projects in Missouri and Kansas.
The event was held at the Museum and in adjacent Patee Park. The event included outdoor dinner and allowed kids who attended to play on the playground equipment which includes a stage coach.
