Travis Kelce's $100,000 donation supported family after devastating Kansas City shooting
In 2024, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce turned a devastating day for Kansas City into an opportunity to support families facing unimaginable loss. After a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs ’ Super Bowl parade left one person dead and 22 others injured, both stars stepped forward with $100,000 donations. Swift supported the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan , the local radio host who was killed, while Kelce directed his contribution toward the family of two young girls who were injured. Their separate donations came as the city struggled to process the tragedy that unfolded during what was meant to be a celebration.
Taylor Swift’s $100,000 donation supported Lisa Lopez-Galvan’s familySwift’s contribution went toward a GoFundMe campaign created for Lisa Lopez-Galvan’s family after the 43-year-old was fatally shot near Union Station. The mother of two was attending the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory celebration when the shooting occurred.
The singer’s donation was made through two separate $50,000 contributions. A message attached to the donations read: “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,”
Lopez-Galvan was a well-known Kansas City radio personality and co-host of the Latin music programme “Taste of Tejano” on community station KKFI. Her death left behind her husband of 22 years and two children.
The fundraiser had initially set a goal of $75,000 to help the family deal with the financial impact of the tragedy. It quickly moved beyond that target, reflecting the widespread response from people who wanted to help.
Travis Kelce donated through Eighty-Seven & Running Kelce also contributed $100,000, using his Eighty-Seven & Running organisation to support another family affected by the shooting. His donation was split into two $50,000 payments.
The money went to a fundraiser created for the Reyes family after two young daughters were shot in the legs during the parade. The campaign sought financial help for their physical and mental recovery as they dealt with the aftermath.
Kelce had been at the parade following Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. In the days that followed, the Chiefs tight end joined other NFL figures in paying tribute to those affected.
The shooting occurred as the celebration at Kansas City’s Union Station was ending. Lopez-Galvan was the only person killed, while 22 people suffered injuries. Police said half of those injured were younger than 16.
The tragedy cast a shadow over the Chiefs’ championship celebrations, but Swift and Kelce’s donations provided direct financial support to families dealing with the consequences.
