Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, has finally spoken out after the tragic shooting incident at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade which led to the death of one person and left almost two dozen injured.
In a heartfelt message released alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, Travis addressed the Kansas City community in a social media post. The message was shared on Monday afternoon, just ahead of a new episode of their podcast, New Heights.
‘We have a pre-recorded episode for you guys coming up on Wednesday, 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,’ Travis expressed.
Support and Solidarity
In their message, Travis and Jason urged fans to show support by donating to an emergency fund. The fund aims to provide assistance to the victims, their families, first responders, and those in need of violence prevention and mental health services. The Kelce brothers also highlighted the importance of coming together as a community during such difficult times.
A Generous Gesture
Travis Kelce recently made a notable contribution by matching a $100,000 donation from his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The donation was directed towards the victims of the shooting during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally. Travis’ charity, the Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation, added a pair of $50,000 donations to a GoFundMe page established for the Reyes family, whose two young daughters were wounded in the incident. Taylor Swift, for her part, supported the family of Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, who unfortunately lost her life.
It is worth mentioning that Travis faced criticism for attending a ‘scaled down’ celebration shortly after the tragic incident. The brothers expressed their sympathy to the victims, their families, and the city of Kansas City, acknowledging the heart-wrenching turn of events during the parade.
Coming Together for a Greater Cause
Kansas City has demonstrated remarkable solidarity in the face of this tragedy. In their podcast, Travis and Jason Kelce emphasized the wonderful community that has supported and watched their show, also hinting at their plan to get involved in future fundraising and support efforts.
Where Travis Finds Solace
Meanwhile, off the field, Travis Kelce has been spending time with friends and honing his golf skills in Parkville, Missouri. The tight end was spotted enjoying virtual rounds of golf at X-Golf, an indoor golf course, just miles away from his residence. Enthusiastically carrying his clubs alongside former Chiefs tight end Ross Travis, Travis Kelce appears to be finding solace in the sport during this difficult time.
As the community continues to cope with the aftermath of the shooting, Travis and Jason Kelce remain committed to supporting those affected and are actively exploring ways to contribute to fundraising efforts.
