Travis Kelce Donates $100K To 2 Children Injured In Kansas City Super Bowl Parade Shooting
Travis Kelce has certainly come in for criticism in recent months, but he's doing the right thing after the horrific Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting.
Kelce made a sizable donation to help out two young sisters injured in the shooting, according to the New York Post. It was reported that the 34-year-old NFL star donated $100,000 to the Reyes family, whose two daughters were injured when "celebrating with many members of their family."
A statement issued on behalf of the family explained that the young girls are making "good progress in their recovery," but face months of physical therapy ahead.
"We're happy to share that our daughters, ages 8 and 10, are making good progress in their recovery from their leg injuries. Both girls were shot in the legs, underwent surgery, and are currently in casts for several months. We will endure follow-up doctor’s visits for the next few years. They are receiving physical therapy to regain their strength and mobility. While we are relieved by their progress, the emotional healing continues for all of us. The girls were celebrating with many family members when they were senselessly injured. We kindly ask that you continue to keep our family and the other families affected in your thoughts and prayers."

Kelce had previously posted on X about the shooting at the parade, saying he was "heartbroken" over the incident.
"I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me," Kelce said that day.
Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift also made a sizable donation to the family of the woman who was killed in the shooting, which resulted in gun and resisting arrest charges for two juveniles.
