Treads & Threads 26

An Evening for a Cause: CSC Celebrates Treads & Threads 2026

On September 12, 2026, the Kansas Speedway traded race cars for evening gowns and tuxedos as the Kansas City community gathered for another unforgettable Treads & Threads celebration. Control Service Company was proud to return as an event sponsor, joining local businesses, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and friends for an evening dedicated to advancing cancer care and research.

Hosted by The University of Kansas Health System, Treads & Threads is more than a black-tie gala. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate progress, and support the patients and families whose lives are impacted by cancer.

A Night of Celebration and Community

This year’s event brought plenty of excitement to Kansas Speedway, with live entertainment from country music artist Brett Eldredge and the Emerald City Band, along with food and refreshments from some of Kansas City’s favorite restaurants.
CSC was excited to welcome employees, customers, and industry friends to our sponsored table and event space. With so many familiar faces gathered in one place, the evening was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, enjoy great company, and celebrate a cause that touches families throughout our community.
We always appreciate opportunities to spend time with the people and organizations we’ve built relationships with over the years, especially when those connections bring us together for something bigger than business.

Supporting the Future of Cancer Care

Since its beginning in 2002, Treads & Threads has raised more than $30 million to support cancer research, treatment, and patient care through The University of Kansas Health System.
This year’s celebration was especially meaningful as the health system continues developing its new $575 million cancer center in Kansas City, Kansas. The facility represents an important investment in the future of cancer treatment, bringing researchers, physicians, and care teams together to advance discoveries and improve patient experiences.
For the thousands of individuals and families facing cancer diagnoses throughout our region, investments like these offer hope for better treatments, expanded resources, and a brighter future.

A Partnership That Means More

CSC has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with The University of Kansas Health System, supporting building automation systems across many of its hospitals and clinics. Through that relationship, we’ve developed a deep appreciation for the people who work tirelessly to provide exceptional healthcare to our community.
Our involvement in Treads & Threads is an opportunity to support those efforts beyond our everyday work. We are proud to stand alongside the many businesses, organizations, and individuals who share a commitment to improving healthcare throughout Kansas City.
Events like this are also a reminder of what makes our community special. When people from different industries and backgrounds come together around a shared purpose, they can help make a meaningful difference.

Looking Forward to Another Great Year

We’re grateful to The University of Kansas Health System and everyone involved in organizing another memorable Treads & Threads celebration. From the volunteers and sponsors to the performers, restaurants, and attendees, countless people helped make the evening possible.
Thank you to the CSC employees, customers, and industry partners who joined us throughout the night. We enjoyed celebrating with you and are proud to continue supporting an event that brings so much hope to our community.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Treads & Threads next year!
