The vision for the Academy first originated with city leaders along with Dayton Moore, General Manager of the Kansas City Royals. Through the support of Major League Baseball, leaders in Kansas City and the State of Missouri, along with many generous donors, this idea became a reality with the official grand opening in March 2018. The purpose of the Academy is to provide our community's youth with a dual opportunity to develop into high-character members of society and, at the same time, learn the skills of baseball and softball. mlb.com/kcuya _________________________ Find us on Facebook:@ Kccaresradio Twitter: @kccaresradio Instagram: @Kccaresonline _________________________ Also available on Itunes || Spotify || Stitcher || Soundcloud || Youtube KC Cares, Kansas City's nonprofit voice, tells the stories of Kansas City nonprofits and connects them with the community.
