Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has demonstrated his support for the community following the tragic shooting incident during the victory parade. In collaboration with the United Way, the Chiefs have established the #KCStrong Fund, aimed at aiding the victims and their families while also investing in initiatives for violence prevention and response, including bolstering mental health services and supporting first responders.
Travis Kelce’s philanthropic efforts mirrored those of his girlfriend, the renowned singer Taylor Swift, as he matched her generous $100,000 donation to assist the victims. Through his charitable organization, the Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation, Travis Kelce facilitated this contribution via a GoFundMe campaign initiated by friends of the Reyes family. The Reyes family, who tragically had two young daughters injured in the shooting, has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, with the fundraising efforts swiftly surpassing their initial goal.
Meanwhile, Swift’s donation was directed towards aiding the family of Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, a victim who lost her life in the tragic incident. The solidarity and compassion shown by both Kelce and Swift have been heartening for the affected families and the broader community.

Adding to the support network, NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany visited the Reyes family at Children’s Mercy Hospital, where their two daughters, aged 8 and 10, are receiving treatment.

In a significant development, authorities have charged two juveniles in connection with the mass shooting, underscoring the need for collective efforts in addressing and preventing such senseless acts of violence.
The resilience and solidarity exhibited in response to this tragedy exemplify the strength of the Kansas City community, as it rallies together to support those affected and strives for a safer, more compassionate future.
