The Kansas City Storm donated tickets to the Derrick Thomas' Third and Long Foundation so that the children could attend a Wizards game. Mike McInerney from the Third and Long Foundation extended his appreciation to the Storm for their generosity. "Field trips, like attending a Wizards game, provide the kids the opportunity to attend a professional soccer game while helping to develop their social skills."

“The Storm is very proud to support the efforts of the Third and Long foundation and the legacy of Derrick Thomas,” said Nance Wernes, owner of the Kansas City Storm. “High risk children need our attention and assistance to help provide a clear path to a productive life.” This is not the first time the Storm has stepped up to help the Kansas City community, last fall the Storm teamed up with local radio personalities to raise money for Toys for Tots. The Storm is working on a number of charity events in the upcoming months and plans to be very active in the Kansas City community.
