Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce team up with comedians to raise whopping $3,900,000 for Children’s Mercy hospital in KC!

In the football-crazed city of Kansas City, where legends like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce reign supreme, their impact extends far beyond the gridiron.

At the 2024 Big Slick charity event, this dynamic duo proved their star power transcends touchdowns and Super Bowl rings. They turned philanthropy into a star-studded spectacle, hauling in a staggering “two-fifty large” – that’s $250,000 for the uninitiated – for The Children’s Mercy Hospital through a thrilling silent auction

The auction kicked off with a bang as comedian Jason Sudeikis, known for his role in “Ted Lasso,” playfully goaded bidders. His witty remark about Kansas City’s supposed sexism sparked laughter and competitive bidding. Ultimately, two lucky fans secured the opportunity to join Sudeikis courtside to watch rising basketball star Caitlin Clark play in New York. The winning bid? A whopping $35,000.

The coup de grace? A one-of-a-kind package featuring their game-worn, autographed jerseys that sent bids soaring higher than Mahomes’ legendary no-look passes. As the auctioneer’s gavel fell, Mahomes invited the lucky winner onto the stage, creating a moment straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster that embodied the event’s spirit of giving back to the community.

But Mahomes and Kelce didn’t just show up and put on a show – they brought the “juice,” engaging fans and bidders alike with the same infectious energy that makes Arrowhead Stadium shake. Mahomes was tossing autographed “rocks” to Kelce, who played delivery man, ferrying the prized souvenirs to eager fans. One lucky lady scored big, snagging a Mahomes-signed ball for a cool $15,000 – a price tag that would make even big-money free agents blush.

Their chemistry extended beyond just throwing and catching, though. In a side-splitting moment reminiscent of their iconic touchdown celebrations, Mahomes and Kelce engaged in a hilarious jersey-wearing competition, with comedic legends like Paul Rudd providing running commentary worthy of a Monday Night Football broadcast. Kelce’s struggles to squeeze into his jersey had the crowd in stitches, proving that even elite athletes can bring the laughs off the field.

They proved that when Kansas City rallies together, anything is possible – even turning charity into a star-studded spectacle that would make The Mick himself proud.
