A Mirrorball Trophy is On the Line
Brooke Cinalli is a lot of things: mom, wife, interior designer, cancer survivor. And – for one night in June, 2026 – she’s a competitive dancer, in the running for a coveted mirrorball trophy during the BMA Foundation’s annual Dine and Dance with the Stars event as she raises funds for Carousel Pediatric Care, a program of Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care.
As background, the BMA Foundation is Kansas City’s leading advocate for children’s charities and animal welfare organizations. This annual dance competition – based on the hit television show Dancing with the Stars – brings local Kansas Citians together to dance and raise money for charities supported by BMA. The dancer raising the most money for their charity is named Grand Champion and takes home a coveted mirrorball.
Professional dancers from the ABC television show Dancing with the Stars perform and help judge the event. They also generously auction dances (with themselves) to raise additional funds.

More About Carousel Pediatric Care
Improving the lives of children and families is at the heart of Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care’s mission. Since 1980, KCH has delivered expert, compassionate care when families need it most – while coping with serious illness, at the end of life, and through their grief journey.
KCH created Carousel Pediatric Care in 1989, providing the first – and still only – pediatric hospice program in the region with a multidisciplinary team fully trained and dedicated to meeting the specialized needs of seriously ill children. As a nonprofit, donors and community partners are critical to ensuring this care is available to all kids in Kansas City who need it.
More About Brooke
For 17 years, Brooke Perkins Cinalli has called Kansas City home. She’s a proud wife to Joe and mom to Isabel, Seph, and Ben – all of whom are her biggest fans.
She’s also a founder and the Director of Design at bcDESIGNGROUP, an architecture and design firm rooted in community and relationship-driven work. A cancer survivor, member of the Olathe Public Library’s Foundation Board, and former foster mom through KVC, Brooke brings deep empathy and the belief that communities are strongest when they care for one another.
While Brooke loves designing spaces with natural flow and rhythm, this year, she’s taking on her most challenging renovation yet. She’s transforming her own footwork into a ballroom-ready performance.
While she was initially hesitant to step onto the stage, her “maybe” became a YES when she learned she’d be representing Carousel Pediatric Care from Kansas City Hospice. She’s honored to dance in support of the only pediatric hospice program dedicated to serving children and families in the Kansas City region. Brooke’s passion for this program comes from personal experience, having seen the program’s compassionate support for her precious young neighbor.
When she isn’t practicing new dance moves, Brooke recharges by spending time with her family and friends, eating queso, traveling, hiking, gardening, and finding her balance on her stand-up paddle board.
Good luck, Brooke!
