KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunlife U.S. and the Kansas City Royals have completed another season of Royal Moves, a four-week wellness program designed to help kids embrace health and fitness. Combining baseball and softball fundamentals with everyday wellness lessons, the program aims to help build healthy habits that extend beyond the field and into kids' homes and communities.
Royal Moves had 360 student participants this year, from four Kansas City Public Schools elementary schools: George Washington Carver, George Melcher, Phillis Wheatley and Garfield. Following a program kickoff on September 25 at the Royals game against Cleveland, Royal Moves ran for four weeks, offering weekly fitness and health activities, and field trips to the Kansas City Urban Youth Academy.
