Travis Kelce loves Kansas City and its fans. The star tight end is showing his unwavering support following a tragic shooting during the Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl parade.
After an unthinkable shooting changed the trajectory of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebrations, many have stepped up to support those who were directly impacted. The Chiefs launched “Kansas City Strong,” an emergency fund that supports victims of violence and first responders. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes visited injured parade victims in the hospital. Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to support the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a local DJ who lost her life following the event.
Now, Travis Kelce has also stepped up to help with a $100,000 donation. Per Jackie Strause of The Hollywood Reporter, Kelce sent two $50,000 payments through his Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation to the GoFundMe of the Reyes family, whose two daughters sustained leg injuries during the parade.
As an avid Chiefs fan, I'm so happy to see this and not surprised in the least. I also saw that Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the woman's family (mom and wife who was shot), as did Travis Kelce's foundation to another family. Thank you for being wonderful. #ChiefsParade https://t.co/mU20ta8jeh
