Kelce Donates $100K to Kids Shot at Chiefs Parade
Travis Kelce is helping the surviving victims of the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade.
The Feb. 14 shooting left one woman dead and 22 injured — including two young girls in the Reyes family.
The NFL star's rep confirmed to TODAY.com that Kelce's Eighty-Seven Running organization gave two $50,000 donations to a GoFundMe raising money to provide financial support to the Reyes family.
Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running in 2015 to help “underserved youth strive to become productive citizens by mentoring and motivating them to explore and develop their abilities while learning critical life skills,” the website notes.
Following the shooting, the Chiefs tight end wrote that he was “heartbroken” over the tragic event that occurred following the team’s Super Bowl parade.
“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today,” he tweeted. “My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.”
