KC Strong: How our community has come together

There’s a reason one of KC’s symbols is the heart. Following the tragedy at the Super Bowl rally, our community is showing just how #KCStrong we are.

Here are a few highlights:

• The Chiefs released the KC Strong t-shirt, with all proceeds going to United Way of Kansas City. They kicked off the fundraiser with a $100,000 donation.
• Travis Kelce’s foundation donated $100,000 to two young victims.
• The Kansas City Pioneers, the city’s professional esports team, donated game systems to all children injured at the rally.
• Local businesses like rOOTS KC held fundraisers for Lisa Lopez-Galvan’s family.
• Other local businesses + the city are providing mental health resources, including free counseling and group therapy sessions.

This is a hard time for our city, and now, more than ever, we need to show up for each other. Please share any other resources you know of.
