Saunders went on to thank Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, City Councilman Eric Bunch and Bunch’s executive aide, Marissa Iden, for the roles they played in his special day.

“Forever etched into the legislation of Kansas City’s history!” Saunders’ post continued. “So massive! I can’t begin to express my gratitude!”

In a separate post on Instagram, Bunch also shared photos he took with Saunders and reminisced about the “incredible honor” of making the Kameron Saunders Day of Dance a reality for the “incredibly talented” performer.
