KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a message of hope following Wednesday's shooting outside of Union Station after the Chiefs Champions Victory Parade, chairs that were part of the rally were organized to spell out "KC Strong."
The United Way of Greater Kansas City, in partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs, have established the #KCStrong fund to raise funds to support victims and their families of Wednesday's shooting, violence prevention, mental health support services and supporting first responders.
