Reminder…the Royals and Fox Sports Kansas City are teaming with FSKC broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre for the KC Sports Media Challenge tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Lucky Strike in the Kansas City Power & Light District.  Proceeds from the celebrity bowling event will help support the efforts of The Salvation Army and an orphanage for homeless children in Haiti.
