Travis Kelce denies donating mansion to charity but makes no secret of other charitable gestures

Travis Kelce has officially debunked a viral story claiming he donated millions of dollars to establish a home for homeless youth in Kansas City.

While many fans and media outlets celebrated the reported $3.3 million gift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end used his New Heights podcast to set the record straight.

Speaking candidly, Kelce addressed the widespread misinformation, emphasizing that while the story sounded good, it simply wasn’t true.

“I gotta make a little statement in the ‘don’t believe everything you read kids category.’ A nice realm that you see online,” Kelce said.

“Some false claims were thrown out there that I was doing something in the community that I was not.”

Setting the record straight without dampening the spirit of giving
Kelce avoided naming the original report but was clear about wanting to avoid further attention on the topic.

“I’m not even going to talk about it specifically. I don’t want to bring any more attention to that whole nonsense and article and all that stuff,” he added.

The story, which claimed Kelce partnered with Foster Love to convert a massive home into a youth shelter, quickly went viral.

It was even praised by ESPN personality Pat McAfee, who applauded Kelce’s supposed act of generosity on air. Despite the inaccurate claims, Kelce still thanked McAfee for the support.

“Appreciate everybody for always trying to show love, especially Pat McAfee. He’s always trying to look out for the guys and women in the sports world.”

Though this particular report was false, Kelce reminded listeners that his charitable efforts are very real. Through his nonprofit foundation, 87 & Running, which he launched in 2015, Kelce has long worked to support underserved youth in both Kansas City and Cleveland.

“If you ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87 and Running,” he said. “We’re always trying to get out there and get in the Kansas City communities and the Cleveland community.”

The foundation provides youth with access to mentoring, education, leadership development, and other essential resources aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunity.

McAfee, who had previously commented on the now-debunked donation story, still had praise for Kelce’s character and what he represents.

“There are people that just naturally hate him because he’s very popular, very famous. Especially now because he’s dating the most popular and famous person in the world in Taylor Swift,” McAfee said.
