Kelce Car Jam 2022 Raises Funds for Youth Empowerment
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, hosted his third annual 'Kelce Car Jam' in 2022. The event, held to benefit his 87 & Running Foundation, attracted Chiefs fans and car enthusiasts alike. Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves, known for his philanthropic efforts, showed support by attending and sponsoring the event.
The 'Kelce Car Jam' displayed an impressive lineup of Kansas City's top automobiles, including some from Kelce's personal collection. The event aimed to raise funds and awareness for the 87 & Running Foundation, which focuses on empowering disadvantaged youth through education, business, athletics, STEM, and the arts.
Raising Cane's, a popular chicken finger restaurant, sponsored the event. They served their signature dishes, including chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, and Cane's toast, to attendees. This was not the first time Todd Graves, the founder of Raising Cane's, showed his philanthropic spirit. In 2020, he donated $1 million to the Manning Family Children's Hospital in New Orleans before the Super Bowl LIX.
The 'Kelce Car Jam' successfully brought together football fans, families, and car enthusiasts for a great cause. With the support of sponsors like Raising Cane's and its founder Todd Graves, the 87 & Running Foundation continues to make a positive impact on disadvantaged youth in Kansas City and beyond.
