#RunRoyal
Variety Children’s Charity is this year’s benefactor for the Royals Charities’ 5k, and we’re ecstatic about it. The annual 5k takes place at Kauffman Stadium, going around The K and Arrowhead complexes, and ending around the track down on the baseball field. This year our focus is teamwork, and the fact that success is so much sweeter when you have a group to share it with.
About Variety
As you know, Variety is a volunteer-driven organization committed to improving the lives of children with special needs. Variety provides these children with developmental disabilities the adaptive equipment and opportunities needed for activity and inclusion within our community. If you are passionate about helping children with special needs and bettering their lives, this is the race for you. So round up a team and head out to Kauffman Stadium on August 2nd to run in the Royals Charities 5k. We’re excited about the opportunity to #RunRoyal, for kids who can’t.
Join a Team
Whether you have your own team or just want to run solo, we want you to come walk or run for kids who can’t. We’re encouraging everyone to form teams of 10 and come out and run in support of this great cause. Don’t have a team, but still want to share your successes? You can also join Team Variety, who are running for “Spotlight Kids.”
Meet Sam
Sam is 14 years old and has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which causes weakness and wasting of the voluntary muscles in one’s arms and legs. He stays mobile with his power wheelchair. Variety helped fund his new wheelchair so he can continue enjoying playing with his brothers and friends. He is a sports fanatic but baseball is his passion, and even though he may be a little bit shy he’s a total sweet heart. He is simply just the coolest kid around.Through the Royals Charities 5k race, you can run or walk for one of our inspiring kids like Sam. Help sam and others like him continue to get the equipment that they need in order play with family and friends.
