This elegant celebration will take place on Friday, March 7, 2025, at the Kansas City Convention Center, and will be part of kicking off the 2025 Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic weekend.

For 20 years, Quail Forever has been a driving force in creating positive outcomes for quail populations and upland landscapes. Through habitat restoration, conservation education, public access initiatives, and advocacy, the organization has made a lasting difference for wildlife and the hunting traditions we cherish. The Bobwhite Ball is a chance to reflect on these achievements and build momentum for the future.

The evening will feature keynote speaker Chris Dorsey, a leading voice in conservation and outdoor media. With an impressive career spanning nearly 60 outdoor television series, contributions to National Geographic and The Wall Street Journal, and authorship of 12 books, Dorsey embodies a passion for wildlife and the outdoors that aligns perfectly with Quail Forever’s mission.

This event is more than a celebration—it’s an opportunity to be part of something meaningful. Attendees will enjoy a night of camaraderie, inspiration, and the chance to contribute directly to Quail Forever’s vital conservation efforts. Cocktail attire is required for the event, so get out your suits and dresses, and come prepared to strut your stuff on the Orange Carpet.

Whether you’re a quail hunter, conservation enthusiast, or simply someone who values preserving our uplands, The Bobwhite Ball is a can’t-miss occasion. Together, we can ensure future generations experience the beauty and tradition of quail hunting.
