On Thursday, June 18, beginning at 6:40 pm, as the Royals take on the Cardinals, there will be a special Royals Foundation Flash Fundraiser. Every $250 donation made will support the work of the Urban Youth Academy. Donors will be able to select an exclusive limited quantity World Baseball Classic inspired bat engraved with Royals players and signatures. This opportunity will only be available during the broadcast of this game, so don’t wait!

Supporting the Urban Youth Academy

At the Urban Youth Academy (UYA), we use baseball and softball to empower young people, helping them build confidence, grow as leaders, and see what’s possible.

The UYA provides no cost programming, camps, clinics, and educational opportunities for youth athletes on and off the field. Through clinics, leagues, tournaments, and initiatives like Nike RBI, youth gain exposure to high-level play, build confidence, and develop discipline through the game

When you support this fundraiser, you are helping us empower young people across Kansas City, giving them the opportunity, confidence, and support they need to succeed on and off the field.

Check back on June 18th at 6:40 p.m. to make a donation for these one-of-a-kind Royals World Baseball Classic bats.
