The Kansas City Chiefs have been a part of the fabric of the Greater Kansas City community for decades, not only as a football team, but as a charitable force that makes a difference in people’s lives.
The Chiefs Charity Game, Kansas City’s first preseason game each season, serves as perhaps the strongest example of that, as its raised over $6 million for local non-profits in the past decade alone.
That impact will continue next season at Cornerstones of Care, which was announced as the beneficiary for the 2018 game on Tuesday.
“When we look out for a beneficiary, the Hunt Family Foundation will give preference to agencies that primarily focus on underserved children in Jackson County, and that’s what we’ve done here,” said Lamar Hunt Jr.
