How ComebackKC is helping beat COVID-19 in the Kansas City region (and what you can still do to help.)
KC never quits. ComebackKC was formed earlier this year to help bring KC back from the pandemic the right way – safely and responsibly – to ensure that our region comes back better and stronger than ever. COVID-19 isn’t going away anytime soon. ComebackKC coordinates and helps unify all messaging by state, county and local health authorities, along with integration with both the private and not-for-profit sectors of our community, with a particular focus on our vulnerable populations.
ComebackKC is a 501c3, under the management of Alt-Cap. It’s not political. It’s science-based. And all of us are needed in order to continue to fight and beat COVID-19. Join Mark Logan and Eric Morgenstern of ComebackKC at this interactive Zoom for the latest update on the COVID-19 fight — the purpose, accomplishments to date and challenges ahead. Learn how you can help KC come back!
