Description

Join the Kansas City Royals Grounds Crew & Royals Charities for the first-ever Home Runs for Hunger event at Kauffman Stadium (weather permitting). Fans who donate canned food items or make a cash donation to Harvesters - The Community Food Network, will have the unique opportunity to take batting practice on the field and shag fly balls in the outfield!Participation Opportunities:

Secure one swing against a pitching machine on the Kauffman Stadium field by donating three non-perishable canned food items or by making a $2 contribution (maximum of 20 pitches per participant).
Shag fly balls in the outfield for 15 minutes by donating $25 (please bring your own glove for outfield shagging).

The Royals will provide bats, baseballs and helmets for the event. Please note that children must be at least 48" tall to participate, and all children under the age of 17 will need a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. As fans enter Kauffman Stadium, Royals staff will be on hand to collect canned food items and donations and will give each participant a number indicating the hitting order and respective number of pitches and/or shagging time. Family and friends are welcome to attend and may watch from the seating bowl.
