2009 Royals Community Drives

The Royals are putting their foot on the pedal and "driving" a lot in 2009 - reaching out to area charities and organizations. With the help of the Royals Wives, the Royals are inviting fans to lend a hand all season long by participating in the four annual drives at Kauffman Stadium.

Each drive will be held at Kauffman Stadium when the team is in town, making it easy for fans to just drop off their donated goods prior to catching a Royals game.

The next Royals Community Drive...

Sept. 24-25 Coat Drive
