Travis Kelce makes 100k donation to young sisters shot at Super Bowl victory parade

Travis Kelce has donated $100,000 to two children who were shot at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade.

The 34-year-old tight end has handed over two separate $50,000 donations to the Reyes family to help their daughters, aged eight and 10, who were injured on Wednesday (14.02.24) at a mass shooting in Union Station, Kansas City, Missouri, while the team were celebrating their victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the flagship NFL game last Sunday (11.02.24).

Travis made the donations on a GoFundMe page set up to help the youngsters, who suffered leg injuries in the tragedy, via his Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation, with the Hollywood Reporter confirming their authenticity.

The description on the GoFundMe page read: “The girls were celebrating with many members of their family when they were senselessly injured.

“We ask that you continue to keep the family in your prayers as the girls work to recover.

“This fund will help provide vital financial support for their physical and mental recovery, any leftover funds will be saved for their college funds. All fund are being deposited into a bank account established just for the girls. Any amount is appreciated.”

The page was aiming to reach $100,000 but at the time of writing, thanks to Travis’ generosity, they have almost reached double the target.

The sportsman’s generosity comes after his girlfriend Taylor Swift made a $100,000 to another GoFundMe page set up in the wake of the shooting.

The ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker gave two $50,000 donations eight minutes apart to a fundraiser to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who lost her life at the parade.

She wrote: “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss.”

Two juveniles have been charged in connection with the shooting, which left a total of 22 people injured, aged between eight and 47 years old.
