Blue KC is proud to honor difference makers in our community, and our Sporting Samaritans partnership with Sporting KC lets us do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve recognized the good work of more than 40 metro-area teachers and students since the inception of Sporting Samaritans, and we\u2019re looking forward to another year of recognizing difference-making students and teachers in our community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selected teachers and students get a once-in-a-lifetime experience including four tickets to a Sporting KC match, food and beverage inside the Sporting Samaritan suite, a parking pass, a customized jersey, and a meet-and-greet with former Sporting KC defender Matt Besler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know a teacher or student who\u2019s made a difference in the Kansas City community? Click here<\/a> to learn more about the program and for the nomination form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently gathered our previous Blue KC Sporting Samaritans together, and hearing about the impact the program had on them and their classrooms was truly inspiring. And Sporting Samaritan ambassador Matt Besler shared how important the program is to him. Check out this video recap<\/a> of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n

Blue KC Coaches With Character Program: How Coaches Can Be Recognized!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth sports coaches are a special team of mentors whose collective character could build a human word cloud popping with optimism, passion, integrity, encourager, leader, and role model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember that coach who made a difference in your life? What better way to say thank you than to recognize them at a Royals game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 25 metro-area coaches have already been recognized as part of the Coaches With Character program, and we\u2019ll honor more area coaches this year. Now is your chance to nominate your sports mentor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selected high school coaches will get a once-in-a-lifetime experience that includes a Kansas City Royals game for four, a merchandise gift card, a parking pass, tossing out the ceremonial first pitch, and an interview on 610 Sports Radio during the pregame show. Click here<\/a> to learn more about the program and for the nomination form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out this video recap<\/a> of our 2022 Coaches With Character program, featuring last year\u2019s honored coaches, Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman and Royals Hall of Famer George Brett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2458,"template":"","class_list":["post-2454","well_said","type-well_said","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBlue KC in the Community - March 2023 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Blue KC in the Community - March 2023 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We\u2019re Asking You to Nominate Outstanding Coaches, Teachers and Students Blue KC is proud to partner with Sporting KC and the Kansas City Royals to honor outstanding coaches, teachers and students throughout our community.
