Suzanne Dreiling is fundraising
KC Kids to Negro Leagues Baseball Museum
“Because of the sacrifices and triumphs of the men and women of the Negro Leagues, the museum is an inspirational experience for fans of any age. We appreciate the museum’s contributions to baseball and the role it can play in encouraging young people.” - MLB Commissioner Manfred told the Associated Press.
In celebration of black history month and a celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the Negro Leagues, this Go Fund Me is pushing towards sending 7th-9th grade kids from around the Kansas City Metro area for a field trip to tour the Negro League Baseball Museum.
With the help of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the Angel Art Foundation, we are trying to raise $5,000 to cover admission, lunch and transportation for the students.
“I’m extremely proud to be a part of this, I absolutely love the museum. I had the opportunity to intern at the museum during spring break while in the 4th grade. I think it’s important for everyone to see how hard the men and women of the Negro Leagues had to fight just to be able to play a game that they loved. It’s so inspiring and I hope it inspires the students as well”. ~ Savanna Williams 11, Founder and President of Angel Hands Art Foundation ~
"It's important for students to have opportunity to experience the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and learn a piece of history that most of us never had the opportunity to learn but not only learn it for its educational value but also for its inspirational significance." - Bob Kendrick, president of Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
"As the Negro Leagues prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary of its founding here in Kansas City, its important for today's high school baseball players in Kansas City to know the pioneering history of the game they love in the city they call home" - Matthew Oates, Sub-District 2 Board Director for Kansas City Public Schools.
“There’s no greater gem in this city than the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. It not only tells us the history of the game but also tells the story of black people in this country. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate black history than to visit the NLBM.” - Carrington Harrison, co-host of The Drive, 610 Sports Radio KCSP
Thank you for the consideration.
