Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has donated $100,000 to two surviving victims of a fatal mass shooting during his team’s Super Bowl victory parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Representatives for the NFL star confirmed to Today on NBC – the US partner of Sky News – that his Eighty-Seven and Running foundation made two $50,000 donations to a GoFundMe raising money to provide financial support to two sisters injured during the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shooting, on 14 February, left one woman dead and 22 injured. Two juveniles have been charged in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as Kelce’s donation, the sisters, aged 8 and 10, also received a visit from the team’s star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelce’s girlfriend, the pop superstar Taylor Swift, who was at the Super Bowl but did not attend the victory parade, also donated $100,000 to the family of the woman killed in the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the parade shooting, Kelce wrote that he was “heartbroken” over the tragic event that occurred following the team’s Super Bowl parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me,” he said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running – named so because his shirt number is 87 – nearly a decade ago 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”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comes as the Reyes family shared an update on their daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family said that the two girls sustained leg injuries and will be in casts for several months after undergoing surgery to treat their gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
