Royals Charities gave the Buck O’Neil Centennial Celebration a boost on Thursday by announcing a $10,000 donation to the Negro League Baseball Museum.

The donation is for the NLBM’s $100-for-100 campaign that encourages fans to make a $100 donation toward the $100,000 goal to support the museum and the future Buck O’Neil Education and Research Center.

The celebration to mark the late Kansas City icon’s 100th birthday anniversary is going on with several events planned this weekend. More information on the $100-for-100 campaign can be found at www.royals.com/buck100.
