For 35 years, Dan Meers went to work like many other men, dressed in a suit. The only difference? His suit had a tail. 🐺
As the beloved KC Wolf, Dan brought joy, laughter, and inspiration to millions of fans around the world. From his early days as Truman the Tiger at Mizzou to his long career with the Kansas City Chiefs, Dan has embodied heart, humor, and hard work.
Behind the costume is a man of deep faith and purpose. After surviving a life-changing stunt accident in 2013, Dan turned his story into one of hope and resilience, sharing a message that reminds us that “God didn’t put us on this earth to make a living… He put us here to make an impact.”
We are honored to welcome Dan Meers, speaker, author, and the man behind KC Wolf, to our annual Stewardship Dinner. His story will make you laugh, think, and leave inspired to live with greater purpose.
📅 Save the Date: Saturday, November 15
📍 Location: Central Christian School, 1910 E. 30th Ave., Hutchinson
