Blue KC Coaches with Character

Honoring Coaches
The "C" You In The Major Leagues Foundation is teaming up with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) to recognize the Blue KC Coaches with Character. This program is intended to spotlight amateur coaches who, through their leadership on and off the field, are helping to grow youth sports in the Kansas City area and making our community a better place to live, work, and play.
