KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark your calendars for June 6 — that’s when the Marquez Valdes-Scantling Charity Softball Game returns to Legends Field in Kansas City, Kansas.
The event, which benefits Valdes-Scantling’s Humble Beginnings Foundation, started last season and pits Kansas City Chiefs offensive and defensive players against each other in a softball showdown at the home of the American Association reigning Wolff Cup champion Kansas City Monarchs.
“Growing up on the south side of St. Petersburg, (Florida), I saw children in economically disadvantaged areas and a large population of homeless individuals,” Valdes-Scantling said in a statement announcing the 2024 game. “Personally, I was fortunate enough to have a tremendous family who sacrificed everything to provide for me. My family instilled in me the importance of volunteering and giving back to my community. Kansas City has welcomed me with open arms and I am excited to continue making an impact here on and off the field and showing the fans who I really am.”
