Riverfront Fitness KC

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends near and far! This year especially, we are grateful for all of YOU. 2020 has been a doozy for all of us, but here's to steering the course in the right direction as we move forward in twenty21. We can't wait to see you back at events and on near, on, and in our MO rivers next year.

This first week of October is Mental Illness Awareness Week. Millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. This week, take time to get educated, fight stigmas, and provide support. Especially with COVID, things can look bleak right now. Be there. http://www.mentalhealthamerica.net/MIAW

Today, we honor and celebrate our brave first responders who risked limb and life for this country - many giving their lives to see that others would live another day. We mourn the loss of so many beautiful souls. 9/11 is a day of solemn observation and a reminder of our Nation's ability to come together, arm in arm, to heal each of our communities. #NeverForget #StrongerTogether

A beautiful morning on the levee of the Big Muddy as the #MR340 gets underway. Paddlers will do a lot of ... paddling ... from KC to Saint Louis these next few days. Track them live here: http://raceowl.com/MR3402020

Riverfest Cancelled 2020 This year we find ourselves unable to gather together as a community to celebrate our nation and to honor our troops, our first respond...ers and their families at KC Riverfest this 4th of July on Independence Day. Yes, patriotism is important. Especially now, as we each feel isolated and many of us alone. We are reminded that patriotism is not who has the biggest and boldest flag or who waves it the highest and the hardest. Patriotism is diligently working and striving for a better, healthier, more substantial tomorrow. Additionally, we are reminded that while freedom may offer us the right to do as we please, it also provides us the opportunity to stand up and to do what is right. Friends of the River KC (FOR_KC) has spent these past nine months planning our 15th year of KC Riverfest. We are incredibly excited to reach this milestone for our community-wide event. Even across these past few months, we have continued to still cautiously work through new ideas and variations based on everchanging health protocols and safety measures. The decision for cancellation was made as our elected leaders, and a host of health professionals, are cautiously deliberating to formulate a clear picture of what future gatherings entail. No one has a crystal ball here, and there is no playbook. Providing a safe and healthy environment is crucial now more than ever before. Our decision was not reached without weighing the impact on the multitude of entertainers, vendors, volunteers, partners, sponsors, charities, as well as the municipalities involved. To our musicians, our entertainers, our local restaurants, our production teams, and our charity partners, we know this leaves you with a financial hole. You are a small business. You are local. You are the face of our festival. You do so much for our city, and we know you had budgeted for and counted on this day and our event financially. As the City of Kansas City Missouri's July 4th celebration, we thank them for their unwavering support at all levels. They do so much behind the scenes to keep this a festival for all parts and every neighborhood of our metro and well beyond our boundaries. We also thank the Kansas City Police Department, Kansas City Fire Department, the Levee District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and especially our longtime friends Port KC. Port KC graciously provides their green spaces to not only us but all residents and visitors to Kansas City, and we would be nothing without their team and their board of directors. "We The People" temporarily cannot gather together in large numbers to celebrate America. But never forget that YOU are the Declaration of Independence. YOU are the Star-Spangled Banner. YOU are the Rockets Red Glare. YOU are the Pledge of Allegiance. YOU are the 4th of July. YOU are the American Spirit. YOU are One Nation. YOU are Kansas City. We do not need a party to tell us that. Be safe. Be strong. Be a friend. Friends of the River, KC

Support, love, nurturing, and guidance come in so many forms. Today we recognize all the versions and variations of moms and mother figures, including those who were and those of you still trying. We love you. Happy Mother’s Day to all!

A cool experience this afternoon with a bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base flying directly over our office downtown KC! Thank you to our team who still continues to diligently work day in and day out, and to all our front line workers and first responders. #StrongerTogether

Light It Blue To our First Responders who fight on these front lines, to those who have suffered their last battle, to those called up again from a generation past, and to those who will thankfully make it through to the other side, this night we light it blue for you. . It is our duty to honor these courageous warriors, many who work knowing full well they are making the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the rest of the world will endure. We think today to those suffering the he...artbreak of loss, alone, without closure nor contact nor goodbye, and we lift you up along with your families and your friends. . We stand hopeful to hold you in our arms again. Hopeful to shake your hand. Hopeful to view your faces sans shield and mask and screen. You are extraordinary Americans. You are exemplary patriots. You are marvelous role models to both young and old. . Today the devil whispered in my ear you’re not strong enough to withstand the storm. But I simply went about my work saying only I am the storm. . Do work. Stand strong. Be Mighty. . #LightItBlue #MakeItBlue #FirstResponders See more

There are many pieces that make a clock tick and tock and chime. Each part, no matter how small, is so critically important to all the others for the mechanism and machine to work. As we take pause, notice, and thank our first responders I feel it important to know that the list is long, their bench is deep, and those parts are many. While this is not a full list, it is a start of all those who are sacrificing for you, for me, for us. CNAs, orderlies, registered nurses, lice...nsed practical nurses, trauma nurse clinicians, ward clerks, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, clinical laboratory scientists, phlebotomists, radiology technologists, imaging technicians, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, admissions team, physical therapists, health information management, switchboard and operators, compliance officers, occupational therapists, medical coders, Chaplins, staffing clerks, biomedical techs, child life specialists, speech therapists, transcriptionists, case managers, wound care technicians, therapy aides, lactation consultants, patient transport, midwives, social workers, infection and quality control team, surgical techs, dietitians, administrative teams, outpatient services, finance and accounting, morgue attendants, CENTRAL SUPPLY, LINEN SERVICES, STERILE PROCESSING TECHS, HOUSEKEEPING, CAFETERIA WORKERS, human resources, and our doctors. #LightItBlue #MakeItBlue #FirstResponders #FOR_KC

Hi. Howdy. Hello. We had planned to make a BIG deal out of today and hype the Riverfront Fitness KC spring, summer, and fall event schedule. Our team is so excited to get outside to play again we cannot even stand it. With current events, we are going to hold our announcement just a hair longer, to cut down on any clutter and confusion. Is what we do outside? Yes. Is it in a park? Absolutely. Isn't there enough room to social distance? Of course!... Can we only allow ten people to sign up? We suppose. But that is not us. That is not what we do. We have been the Park Party People for eighteen years. We love groups. We love gatherings. We want you to come, have fun, bring all your friends for a park hang and a sunset without any rules or restrictions. So let's be safe. Let's stay well. Let's be respectful of those around us who might not be as healthy. We will be together soon, and it will be epic. Because as we have learned these past several years, and especially these past few weeks we really are #StrongerTogether. #RiverfrontFitnessKC #FOR_KC CORE Strong Fitness Karma Tribe Yoga Berkley Riverfront Port KC See more
