AceShowbiz - Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have used their voices to help the victims of the recent shooting. In a special episode of their "New Heights" podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player and his brother encouraged fans to donate to those affected by the tragedy at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade.
"Attention 92%ers, we have a pre-recorded episode for you guys coming up on Wednesday," the 34-year-old footballer said at the start of the special podcast intro. "But after the tragic events of the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, it didn't feel right without you guys hearing from us first."
Jason then chimed in, "We just wanted to say our hearts go out to all of the victims, their families, Chiefs Kingdom, and really all of Kansas City that was really there on a day to try and celebrate the community." He continued, "It's unfortunate, and deeply tragic the events that occurred."
"So we want to thank the local law enforcement that sprang into action," the 36-year-old further stated, "the first responders on scene, and anybody that's been willing to help those affected by this tragedy."
Travis later reminded listeners that links to the Chiefs Emergency Response Fund are in their "New Heights" bio if people wanted to donate. "Your donation goes to supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services," he declared.
The tight end himself, along with his charity, Eighty-Seven & Running, gave away $100,000 to the Reyes family, whose two young daughters were shot at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade. His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has also lent a helping hand. The Grammy winner donated $100,000 to the family of 44-year-old DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was shot dead in the ordeal.
