Get ready for the Big Slick! Relive the laughs from the 2024 charity event
Kansas City’s Big Slick Celebrity Weekend returned in 2024 with its largest-ever roster of stars and comedians, united by hometown pride for a cause. The event saw Kansas City favorites like Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, Heidi Gardner, and Eric Stonestreet lead games, laughs, and auctions, joined by new faces such as Kumail Nanjiani and Fortune Feimster. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce energized the Party & Show at T-Mobile Center, with memorable moments like a live version of “Da Bears” and signed footballs fetching big donations.
Friday’s rain-soaked Celebrity Softball Game still delivered highlights, including Royals greats Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas joining the fun. All told, the weekend raised a record $3.97 million for Children’s Mercy, showing again why Big Slick is a source of civic pride.
