Lead to Read KC has made significant strides, serving over 88 classrooms across four school districts and mobilizing more than 2,000 volunteer reading mentors. Their impactful programs are designed to improve literacy rates and enhance the educational experience for children in Kansas City.
To further support this mission, Sporting KC, in collaboration with Central Bank, organized a book drive aimed at benefiting Lead to Read. The community was encouraged to participate by donating books at various locations, including Sporting KC offices and Central Bank offices. During the game on August 1, fans had the chance to contribute their books, with the first 100 donors receiving a voucher for a prize at the Central Bank activation area.
