KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) — Days after losing the Super Bowl to his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce took to Instagram to thank Kansas City Chiefs fans for donating to his foundation.
Jason, the brother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, founded the (Be)Philly Foundation in October 2022 with the goal of improving the lives of Philadelphia’s youth.
After the Chiefs’ 38-35 win in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, Kansas City fans helped push the foundation past its $100,000 fundraising goal.
“While it’s really unfortunate that we lost the Super Bowl, I’ve been very humbled to see the support my foundation has received over the past 48 hours,” Jason said on Instagram. “Primarily from our opponents last Sunday, we didn’t exceed our original online fundraising goal of $100,000.”
Many fans donated $14.90 for a combination of each Kelce brothers jersey number.
“Chiefs Kingdom knows how to win with class and I can’t thank you all enough for supporting the (Be)Philly Foundation’s mission here in Philadelphia,” Kelce wrote on Instagram.
On Wednesday, Travis and Jason released a new episode of their New Heights podcast detailing the Super Bowl and talking about the attention their family received as the first brother duo to compete in the Super Bowl.
