Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have not only caused a sensation on the field, driving Kansas City Chiefs fans wild.
Together, they have won three Super Bowls for the franchise (LIV, LVII, and LVIII) and five AFC championships. Now, in their most recent appearance, the star duo attended the “Big Slick” at the T-Mobile Center, a charity auction for Children’s Mercy Hospital.
This event began in Kansas City in 2010 and seeks to contribute to the eradication of pediatric cancer. The idea came from big-screen stars such as Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, and Rob Riggle, and since its inception, the event has raised more than $24 million for pediatric health in the area.
Fundraising began on Thursday with a private “Just Us” cocktail party. On Friday, a celebrity softball game was played, and on Saturday, Kelce and Mahomes appeared on stage to thunderous applause. His brother, Jason, was also present.
This time around, donors bid on more than 50 items and experiences, such as a visit to the set of the reality show “Impractical Jokers” or learning stunts with “Jackass” movie star Johnny Knoxville.
After the event, it was announced that Mahomes and Kelce helped raise more than $4.5 million.

As Kelce prepares for his 13th season, Mahomes will enter his ninth season in the NFL. Will they be able to turn the tide?
