POOL CUES & RUNNING SHOES

Going the Distance

Over the weekend, Heritage Park hosted the 2026 KCCC 10K and Half Marathon, marking the third year the 10K has joined the race lineup. More than 900 competitors took to the course, from returning athletes chasing new personal bests to first‑timers proudly completing their very first race for big team points.

One for the Record Books

A standout moment came from Jack Fisher of Kiewit, who set a new KCCC record in the Men’s 18–24 division with an impressive Half Marathon time of 1:10:28.88.

Congratulations to Jack Fisher, Kiewit!

YOUR TEAM. YOUR IMPACT. YOUR CITY

Celebrating Women in Construction & Homeownership

Habitat KC is proud to honor and uplift the women who are shaping the future of construction and homeownership in our community. From May 13–15, Habitat KC will host Women Build Blitz, a three-day building event taking place in one of their focus neighborhoods in Kansas City, Missouri. This annual effort brings volunteers together to support affordable housing while spotlighting the leadership and impact of women in the field.

The week will conclude with a community celebration at The Dub KC on Friday, May 15 at 5 PM. During the event, The Dub KC will donate $1 from every Lavender Lemon Drop purchased back to Habitat KC. It’s a fun and meaningful way to support local women builders and the families they serve.

Join in, raise a glass, and help celebrate women in construction and homeownership!

COMPANY SPOTLIGHT

Pembroke Hill School

Pembroke Hill School is excited to rejoin the Kansas City Corporate Challenge this year after many years away. The decision was sparked by renewed enthusiasm within the HR team and inspired especially by a newer employee—a middle school teacher and cancer survivor—whose determination motivated the organization to take on new challenges.

Employees are most looking forward to the teamwork, camaraderie, and celebration that KCCC fosters. The team feels confident about performing well in women’s volleyball and bowling, where interest and energy are especially strong.

Pembroke Hill School's walk‑up song of choice: “Too Legit To Quit” by MC Hammer.

"We have some very interested employees and we are hoping it brings pride, teamwork and joy. We hope to inspire others to participate and continue beyond this year."

― Vanessa Alpert, Pembroke Hill School
