Here’s an opening day number for you: 30.
It has been 30 years since the first Greater Kansas City Day!
Sure, it’s all about having fun and wishing the Royals a winning home opener, but it is also about making winners of every child with special needs in our town.
Through the sales of a special edition of the Kansas City Star and a wonderful “Raised Royal” flag, money rolls in to help support the Rotary Youth Camp; a place for kids to be kids!
This year, in addition to 1500 volunteers selling the paper on street corners all over the city, a big party was going on from 7-10 a.m. at Union Station.
KayCee, The “W” Guy, was there. KC Wolf was dancing around. A Dixieland band played. Legendary Chiefs and Royals were signing autographs.
Royals legend Frank White was one of the party-goers and said opening day is always special and full of hope.
Hope for a big season on the field and hope for children all over Kansas City.
