What is a "FundraisoMeter"? What does the KickFall support?
The FundraisoMeter tracks funds raised for fantastic charities across Kansas City—Keep checking back to track our progress. The total dollars raised are the sum of team registration fees, corporate sponsorships and individual fundraising efforts. 100% of team registration fees will be given to the designated charities of the top three finishing teams. Individuals are encouraged to raise additional dollars above and beyond their registration fees - 100% of which will go to their team’s specific charity.
The KickFall Classic originated from a passion that its founders had for improving the Kansas City community. They set out to create a family-friendly event unlike any other in Kansas City that allows the participants to designate which organizations will receive the proceeds.
Kansas City responded to the opportunity, in two years we have had over 585 kickballers participate to raise over $16,800 for some great local causes. We expect the event to continue to grow so make sure to sign your team up early.
Each team will designate a charitable organization (not-for-profit) for which their team will be playing. The top three placing teams will have 100% of the registration fees donated to their respective charities:
- 50% for 1st place
- 30% for 2nd place
- 20% for 3rd place
Our mission is two-fold: coordinate an event that's fun for the entire family while raising awareness and money for some wonderful causes in Kansas City. Our inaugural event in 2009 was a tremendous success with 19 teams competing for $3,800 in charitable contributions. The 2nd year was even more successful with 30 teams competing for $13,000. This will be our 3rd year and it promises to be larger and even more fun than the past. We have made room for more teams to participate this year.
