Founded in 2024 by Blue KC and the KC Current, the Blue KC Gamechanger program recognizes an individual whose leadership inspires physical, mental, emotional, and community wellness by creating healthier, more inclusive environments. This can be done through healthcare, education, sport, or advocacy efforts.

During the regular season, a Blue KC Gamechanger is selected each month and honored at a KC Current home match at CPKC Stadium, joined by leadership from Blue KC and KC Current. Each Blue KC Gamechanger honoree receives two (2) match tickets, food and beverage credit, a parking pass, apparel, and the opportunity to watch pre-match warm-ups from the pitch. The Blue KC Gamechanger honoree will also be recognized on the pitch and stadium video board. Each nominator of the selected Blue KC Gamechanger receives two (2) match tickets, food and beverage credit, and a parking pass.
