The GKC Links HBCU Walk/Run

Saturday, September 27, 2025, marks the 8th annual HBCU Walk and Scholarship Fundraiser sponsored by the Greater Kansas City (MO) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. Since 2016, we have raised scholarship funds for students from the Kansas City metropolitan area attending historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the United States. This endeavor is in honor of our member Yvonne Houston, an alumna of Florida A&M University, whose love for her HBCU inspires all of us to uplift and continue her legacy.
