Brady Krysiewicz Keeper for the Cure by KCMB Kansas City News

(From Anthony K. email submission) We would like to tell you a captivating story about the remarkable journey of Brady Krysiewicz. At just 13 years old, Brady is already making waves as a talented goalkeeper for the Sporting Kansas City Academy. However, his story goes far beyond his achievements on the field.


Brady's passion for soccer led him to relocate from Virginia to Kansas City a year and a half ago, fully committing himself to the Academy. Despite the challenges of traveling back and forth for training, Brady's dedication caught the attention of Sporting Kansas City when he was scouted at just 11 years old. But what truly sets Brady apart is his incredible work behind the scenes.

In 2009, Brady established his own nonprofit organization called Keeper For a Cure. Since its inception, this inspiring initiative has raised over $9,000 in September and October for various local organizations. Initially focused on supporting hospitals and nonprofits aiding women battling breast cancer, Brady's experiences over the years have broadened his perspective.

This year, Brady has chosen to raise funds for anyone affected by cancer, having encountered individuals who have fought against this disease in its various forms. He discovered the Gildas Club in Kansas City, an organization dedicated to supporting cancer patients, and decided to rally his efforts behind them. Since launching the campaign in September, Brady has already raised an impressive $1,700. To further amplify his impact, he has organized a significant event at Apex Ale works and Brewery in Independence, Missouri, scheduled for the last Friday of this month. This event with have comedians and musicians at the event.

With a goal of reaching $3,000 and surpassing the $10,000 mark since the establishment of Keeper For a Cure in 2009, Brady is eager to garner as much press coverage as possible. Your assistance and support in spreading the word about this incredible endeavor would be immensely appreciated. Should you have any inquiries or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out via email. Additionally, you can visit Brady's website for more details. www.KeeperForACure.com

Wedding Crashers band makes KC Band top ten finalist by KCMB News Kansas City


Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, the scores are in, and for the second straight year since their inception, local Kansas City dance band The Wedding Crashers came in a close second place in Kansas City's "Best Band in Kansas City" competition. Once again, and for the 4th year in a row, The KC All Stars took home first place, but this year The Wedding Crashers were right on their heels losing by only a small margin. Where did these guys come from?

We had a chance to check out The Wedding Crashers band at a show last month at The Uptown Theater and these guys can really put on a show. Even though they have only been together for just 2 years, you wouldn't know it by watching their performance. Each song was seamless and their light show was over the top. What we really enjoyed was the way The Wedding Crashers could perform old school songs and then turn around and perform the most current hits on the radio back to back without losing a single person off of the dance floor. The dance floor remained packed for the entire concert and they even got our old butts up to dance on a few songs - and we DO NOT usually dance. The female vocalist has a KILLER voice, that girl is going places. We don't want to give away the entire show, but let's just say that there are some great surprises.

Hard to resist these guys as they have what it takes to be Kansas City's next top band. Keep a look out for The Wedding Crashers crashing a wedding or concert near you!
