Supporting our community extends beyond the work done within each of our campuses. We believe recreational opportunities are critical for children with and without disabilities as they learn the importance of teamwork and develop active lifestyles.

Like many nonprofits in the Kansas City Community

Like many nonprofits in the Kansas City Community COVID-19 has impacted Ability KC significantly. The risks associated with COVID-19 combined with our efforts to keep our community safe and healthy during the pandemic has altered the way we provide services and has forced us to cancel, postpone and adapt by moving events to virtual platforms. Ability KC has already felt the effects of critical fundraising lost from cancelled events. However, our community, staff and those we serve have come to provide invaluable support and generosity during these difficult times.

In honor of our community, we are excited to share the “Why” behind some of our supporters generosity.

Up first - George Guastello, President and CEO of @unionstationkc and Ability KC Board Member.
