The Kansas City Mavericks know what looks like. Our athletes had a blast at the floor hockey clinic they hosted. Thanks to the team’s jersey fundraiser, more than $8,400 was raised to support SOKS. 25 Team Kansas athletes even received custom KC Mavericks jerseys with their own name on it, making them part of the team in the most meaningful way. We’re grateful for partners like them who continue to champion inclusion and create opportunities for our athletes to thrive. ♥️
