December 2007 Newsletter
by Kevin M. Gray, President
Thanks to each and every one of you for all your support in 2007. We have enjoyed another great year and frankly, we could not be as effective of an organization without the support of so many wonderful and dedicated citizens who are striving to make our community better. Together, we have achieved a number of “first” events in our city, many successes and honored milestones throughout the year. Among the achievements:
We could not have realized these achievements without our board, staff and community partners. The coming year holds great promise for our region as we prepare for the opening of the Kansas City Power and Light District, return of Big 12 basketball and football and more area accomplishments. This is a once-in-a-generation renaissance taking place throughout this region and it is a great time to be affiliated with this organization.
Lastly, this month marks the end of a successful career for one of Kansas City’s most dedicated and spirited sports fans, John Shore. During his tenure with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, John headed the "Victory Builders" campaign that raised $8.3 million to double the size of FCA's World Headquarters at its current location overlooking the Truman Sports Complex. The staff of Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation extends its gratitude for John’s service and commitment to sports in Kansas City and throughout the country.
