Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Donates $200K to Support Charlie Kirk’s Family After Tragic Assassination
Kansas City, MO – September 11, 2025
The shocking assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk last week in Utah left the nation reeling. His death not only silenced a polarizing voice in politics but also devastated a young family now forced to grieve.
Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika Frantzve Kirk, and their two small children — a daughter born in 2022 and a son born in 2024. As they face unimaginable loss, one of the NFL’s biggest stars has stepped forward.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has donated $200,000 to Kirk’s family, according to a statement released Friday. The funds will be directed toward funeral costs, mortgage and living expenses, childcare, and an education trust for the two children.
Kelce explained his decision in a brief message: “No family should have to face this kind of loss alone. This tragedy shook all of us. My hope is that this gift brings them strength and a reminder that people care.”
For Kelce, whose “Eighty-Seven & Running” foundation has long focused on education and youth empowerment, the donation extends his history of philanthropy. He has previously supported families in crisis, scholarships for children, and community programs in both Kansas City and Cleveland.
The response has been immediate. Fans flooded social media to praise Kelce’s generosity, with many noting how rare it is for athletes to act so quickly after tragedy. Chiefs supporters called it a moment of pride beyond football.
Across the NFL, players often rally to support victims of tragedy. Yet Kelce’s gift stands out for its scale, timing, and personal empathy, coming just days before Kansas City’s high-profile Week 2 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles.
As America struggles to process the shock of Kirk’s assassination, Kelce’s gesture reminds us that compassion can cross divides. For Erika and her children, the donation cannot erase heartbreak — but it will help secure their home, ease daily burdens, and protect their children’s future.
