About The Society For Friendship With China, Inc
The Society for Friendship with China, Inc. was formed in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) organization for the purpose of officially conducting friendship activities,
trade, tourism, educational exchanges, and for promoting better understanding between the people of China and the Kansas City Metropolitan area.
Our most immediate goal is to provide a better understanding of Chinese culture in Kansas City by holding the Annual Kansas City International Dragon Boat Festival,
which includes the Annual Dragon Boat Race, along Brush Creek on the Country Club Plaza.
Our long-term goal is to develop a Chinese Garden in Kansas City.
