Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what others are saying:
Travis Kelce has been giving back big to his hometown schools, and we are grateful. Because of his generosity, more than 2,300 children have had access to remote learning supports, after school enrichment, tutoring programs, and inspirational speakers. He’s setting an amazing example for our kids and for our alumni.
Julianna Johnston Senturia
Executive Director, Heights Schools Foundation
Travis is not just an NFL star to our children. He has spent time with them, learning their names, showing them that they matter to him. They don’t realize that he was the first person to call and offer aid to our families back in March when COVID-19 hit. They just know that he has let them see him as a real person who cares about them. To me, THAT is the biggest gift Travis has given our children and, I think, it sets him apart.
