Kansas City Royals Announce Incredible Gesture For Month of February
The Kansas City Royals have announced that they, and their foundation, will be covering admission to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum for anyone who visits in February.
The Kansas City Royals announced an incredible gesture on Tuesday that will affect visitors to Kansas City for the month of February.
Per Pete Grathoff of the Kansas City Star:
The Royals announced they and the Kansas City Royals Foundation (formerly Royals Charities) will cover the cost of entrance for anyone visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum during the month of February.
In 2023, more than 14,000 people, including many school and youth groups, visited the museum during February and the foundation wrote a check to the museum for $120,000.
“We are thrilled that the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Royals Foundation are once again providing admission to the museum free of charge for the entire month of February,” said Bob Kendrick, NLBM President. “The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a tremendous educational resource and is one of the nation’s most important Civil Rights and Social Justice institutions. We hope that students and adults alike will take advantage of this generous gesture to learn how America’s unsung baseball heroes helped change the game and America too.”
