We work hand in hand with community groups and organizations to ensure we’re supporting diverse communities and important causes in the place we call home.
The Buck O’Neil Legacy Seat continues to be one of the greatest Kansas City honors for individuals impacting our community. While Buck loved baseball, his love of this city and its people impacted those inside and outside of the game. Buck’s seat is famous at Kauffman Stadium—it is the only red seat in the stadium, and it is where Buck sat when scouting.
Celebrate someone you know who has made a difference in our community by nominating them for the Buck O’Neil Legacy Seat.
We support our heroes, both active and veterans, throughout the metro. The Royals and their fans can enjoy a game and continue to live safely because of the work our service members do. We support many organizations to provide funding and support, including Kansas City VA, Heart of America Patriot Foundation, Wounded Warrior, Horses for Heroes, Retrieving Freedom, and many more.
Do you know someone who is active military or a veteran who is deserving of being honored at a Royals game? We offer seats per home game to honor Kansas Citians who served or are currently serving our country. Nominate someone for the Salute to Service Seat presented by Miller Lite to honor veteran or active-duty service members.
The Royals and our partners are committed to taking big swings to make a difference and ensure a healthy future for the game by working to create a sustainable and renewable future for Kansas City. We are empowering our fans to reduce, reuse, and recycle through a robust stadium presence. Our Fountain Gardens at The K helps reduce food insecurity for the kids at our Urban Youth Academy and is used to make specialty food items in the stadium. We also understand the importance and impact of sustainable energy from our solar panels, drink stations, car charging stations, and LED energy-efficient lights.
At the Kansas City Royals, we are committed to fostering a culture in our organization that embraces and respects people from all different backgrounds. The Royals celebrate our diversity both on and off the field by providing spaces and events that invite people in to share their stories and celebrate all for who they are.
