North Kansas City Hospital "chips in" for LevelUp Kids
North Kansas City Hospital’s 28th annual “Chip In For Charity” golf tournament didn’t take place this year, but that didn’t stop their Board of Trustees, medical staff and sponsors from contributing money to three Northland charities, one of which was LevelUp Kids.
We received a very generous donation of $41,882.14 to further support our free dental and vision programs for low-income Northland children!
