KANSAS CITY -- Royals general manager Dayton Moore’s foundation -- C You In The Major Leagues -- continues to grow, now in its fifth year.

And that was evident again at the foundation’s annual Crown Town Weekend, a three-day event featuring fundraising through plastic ball tournaments. At the end of the weekend, Moore indicated the foundation now has raised over $1 million since its inception to help families in crisis.

"Being able to give out $1 million in grants in five years is a huge milestone for us that points directly to the generosity and care of the people in Kansas City," Moore said. "We're humbled that they allow us to help make a difference in our community."

The weekend events started on Thursday with a Day of Giving, followed by a luncheon, a tournament on Friday at the Urban Youth Academy, and then wrapped up on Saturday morning with the sponsor/celebrity game.

Former Chiefs players Shawn Barber and Mark Collins, former Major League Baseball players Jeff Montgomery, Rex Hudler, Dennis Leonard and Brad Ziegler all participated in the celebrity game. Royals Hall of Fame broadcaster Denny Matthews called the contest

The Blue Team prevailed.

The money raised from the weekend’s events will allow the foundation to give one-on-one mentoring to more high school students in the Kansas City area, and more scholarships for boys and girls to attend baseball and softball camps at the Urban Youth Academy. Most of the kids who'll benefit from this are from underserved areas of Kansas City, according to CYITML director Matt Fulks.

The “C” You In the Major Leagues Foundation was founded by Moore in January 2014 to support youth baseball, education, faith-based organizations and events, and families in crisis throughout the greater Kansas City area and beyond.

“We started the foundation because the people of Kansas City have been so faithful to us that we wanted to honor the community while supporting and giving hope and encouragement to people who need it,” Moore said.
