Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s foundation has donated $100,000 to victims of the Deadly shooting at Super Bowl victory parade On Wednesday.
According to the GoFundMe page, Kelce, through his Ochenta y Siete and Running Foundation, provided two $50,000 donations to the Reyes family on Friday, according to GoFundMe. A GoFundMe representative confirmed the donations to CNN.
The family’s two daughters suffered gunshot wounds during the shooting. More than 20 people were injured in the parade and a mother of two died. Two teenagers face charges for their alleged role in the shooting.
Kelce’s donations follow those of his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who made two donations of $50,000 to a GoFundMe for the family of Lisa López-Galván, the woman killed in the shooting.
After the shooting, the Chiefs and United Way of Greater Kansas City launched KC Strong, an emergency response fund to help victims and their families, the team announced in X Friday. The team said it contributed $200,000 to the fund “to support victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders,” according to the post.
CNN has reached out to Kelce’s representative and foundation for comment.
