KC Wheel partners with local charities to give back to the community
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The KC Wheel is launching a new charitable initiative, ‘One Good Turn Deserves Another,’ to partner with local nonprofit organizations to promote their causes, drive awareness and help fund their efforts.
The year-round, private gondola ride is located at Pennway Point in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

It will host these charities throughout 2024 to educate guests about the nonprofit’s work and needs, to encourage people to get involved and to offer donation opportunities.
According to a news release, those who donate at the events will receive a ‘special thank you gift’ from the KC Wheel.
The first events are scheduled for Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28, where the KC Wheel will host their first partnering charity, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Kansas and Missouri.
At the event, guests can learn more about the foundation from representatives between 2 and 4 p.m., and how it supports the life-changing wishes of children with critical illnesses.

From April 27-29, the KC Wheel will also light up blue in honor and support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and to recognize the families and children who struggle with critical illnesses.
In May, the next charity that will partner with the KC Wheel is the Great Plains SPCA. On May 18 and 19, dogs will be available for adoption, and the organization will also host its first “Waggin’ on the Wheel” event on May 20 — National Rescue Dog Day — where gondola rides will be free to dogs and their owners can purchase an adult ticket.
The next month, on June 29 and 30, KC Wheel will partner with Feed Northland Kids because they believe ‘no child should go hungry.’ Feed Northland Kids is an organization that helps children in unstable food environments receive help outside of the school year.
