Cause for Celebration: Challenger All-Star Classic

Watch YMCA Challenger athletes shine in a special anniversary exhibition game celebrating 20 years of the Challenger Program. This event brings together athletes of all abilities for an exciting day of baseball, complete with live music, on-field recognition, and classic ballpark atmosphere. It's a wonderful opportunity to cheer on these dedicated young players and experience the energy and joy they bring to the field. The celebration continues after the game with an after-party at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, featuring appetizers, refreshments, and live music. Ticket proceeds go directly toward supporting Challenger athletes, ensuring all kids get the chance to play, be recognized, and feel celebrated. This is a meaningful way to spend an afternoon while supporting a program that makes sports accessible and rewarding for every participant. Tickets are $100 per person; contact the Kansas City YMCA for registration details.
