Travis Kelce is continuing his good work off the football field just as well as he is on it as the NFL star made an incredible donation to children in need this week.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has partnered with the breakfast foods brand just three days before the AFC Championship game to provide hot breakfasts for hundreds of families.
Through Operation Breakthrough, an afterschool program for under-resourced youth, the kind-hearted NFL star has donated 25,000 hot meals to children in Kansas City.
‘Joining forces with my friends over at Kodiak to fuel the Operation Breakthrough families is a total privilege. Alongside Kodiak, a brand I love, we will be making a meaningful difference in the day-to-day life of hundreds of Kansas City kids, and I couldn’t be more excited to make this happen,’ Kelce said.
Both Kelce and Kodiak want to work together to provide children with hearty breakfasts packed with protein and whole grains to help them engage in an active lifestyle.
‘We are thrilled to work with Travis and an organization that is near and dear to his heart,’ said Val Oswalt, CEO of Kodiak.
By providing nutritious breakfasts we are giving kids what they need to be set up for success, and ultimately pave the way for healthier futures.’
It isn’t the first time Kelce has teamed up with Operation Breakthrough to benefit the Kansas City community. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, he donated all the food and supplies Breakthrough would need for 15 weeks ‘to keep it business as usual for the kids.’
Later that year, he purchased land to build a STEM facility for high school children at Operation Breakthrough.
Kelce’s Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation formed a partnership with the organization years ago, launching the Ignition Lab in August 2020.
It houses a digital media lab, automotive and engineering lab and an on-site food truck run by culinary arts students.
‘As a kid I was mindful of how life looked different for everyone, but as a man I am profoundly aware of the difference in opportunity, exposure, and privilege I grew up with compared to others,’ Kelce said in a statement at the time.
‘Where you live, the situation you were born into or the color of your skin should have no impact on the dreams you can dream. And it’s a beautiful thing when a kid’s dream comes true.’
