In December 2024, KC MedBridge founders, Laura and Salma, had the amazing opportunity to visit Wildwood Outdoor Education Center! They spoke with some of their camp professionals to learn about nonprofits. They also conversed with counselors about local organizations and spent some time with campers. Thank you, Wildwood, for this amazing opportunity!!

In October 2024, KC MedBridge hosted the Trunk or Treat for Breast Cancer, which welcomed over 100 attendees and raised more than $1,000. They are grateful for the generous support of Yafa Café, Teriyaki Madness, Park’s Kitchen, Jerusalem Café, and Melted KC, whose donations helped make the event a success. They were also thrilled to partner with Art for Hearts, a local art school that set up a booth where children created cards for breast cancer patients. While they initially planned to donate 50% of proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, they have adjusted the contribution to 25%, with the remainder supporting KC MedBridge’s mission.
