A big thank you to the Kansas City Chiefs for hosting a fantasy camp for YMCA of Greater Kansas City Challenger athletes, volunteers and families! Athletes participated in a series of Play60 drills on the field, led by the Chiefs Rookie Club. They also each received personalized jerseys at the end of camp.
Thanks to Chiefs Rookies Trey Smith, Devon Key and Dicaprio Bootle, KC Wolf and the Chiefs Cheerleaders for helping make this such a memorable day for our Challenger program participants.
Highlights from the event are included on episode 7 of "The Franchise." You can watch the episode in the video player below.
