Kansas City Chiefs Community Report 2012-2013

Kansas City CHIEFS 2012– 2013

Community Report

When my father, Lamar, brought the Chiefs from Dallas 50 years ago, he knew right away that Kansas City was a special place. In Kansas City, there is an undeniable spirit of cooperation, of taking care of each other and working together to accomplish great things. The Kansas City Chiefs are humbled by the tremendous support we receive from our fans throughout the region, and we believe that it is our responsibility to give back to a community that gives so much to us.

It is an honor and privilege to be part of the National Football League and we recognize that with that privilege comes great responsibility to the community where we live, work and play. Whether it’s providing hunger relief, investing in our youth, honoring our armed forces or lending a hand to rebuild after tragedy, we know that when we all work together we are powerful.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Hunt Family Foundation provide essential funding to youth organizations, nonprofit agencies and community groups throughout the region and support numerous community programs and initiatives designed to improve the lives of thousands of individuals, children and families every year. Every day we work hard to engage our community and inspire those around us to help make Kansas City a better place.

We hope that you will enjoy the following pages that highlight some of the many ways our players, coaches, employees and other members of the Chiefs family give back to Kansas City. We are grateful for your continued support and we appreciate your interest in our community endeavors.

We are proud to call Kansas City the home of the Chiefs.

Sincerely,

Clark Hunt Chairman and CEO

YMCA CHALLENGER LEAGUE

T

his past fall, members of the Chiefs Community Caring Team, including the team’s defensive backs, traveled north of downtown for a special surprise visit.

As this red-and-gold-clad group entered the YMCA’s Challenger League football field, more than 80 children stood awestruck, jaws stretched agape. The youth present that day participated in the Y’s Challenger League, which is for children and young adults who have special needs. It promotes the inclusion of these individuals in healthy activities that can result not only in improved physical fitness but also personal growth, fun and

friendships. While these individuals may have physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities, they are given the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive through recreational and social opportunities on an ADA-accessible field built just for them.

In no time flat, the Chiefs players and KC Wolf assimilated into their roles as guest coaches at that evening’s Challenger League football practice. The Chiefs led these amazing, inspirational athletes through football drills and taught them the importance of the Play 60 ideals. Confidence and new abilities were found on the gridiron that day, while countless hugs and cheers were shared between the Challenger athletes and their new friends.

“Watching my son catch, hike and throw a football with a Chiefs player was a sight I’ll never forget. I took about 200 pictures! I wanted to capture every smile, every proud moment on the field. Glen was so excited to play with the pros. Thank you for a truly unforgettable evening!”

– Sharon, proud mother of a YMCA Challenger athlete

Play 60 THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ARE CHAMPIONS IN SPREADING THE NFL’S PLAY 60 MESSAGE. The Chiefs Community Caring Team consistently champions the NFL’s Play 60 message by encouraging young fans to eat healthy and be active for at least 60 minutes each day. Examples can be seen regularly during Chiefs Play 60 assemblies, via the American Heart Association’s Play 60 Challenge or through support of Midwest Dairy’s Fuel Up to Play 60 school programming.

Chiefs players such as linebacker Tamba Hali, shown here visiting students at Spring Hill Elementary (Spring Hill, Kan.), actively spread the Play 60 message to youth throughout the Chiefs Kingdom.

Safety Kendrick Lewis and the Chiefs defensive backs honor Northview Elementary (Olathe, Kan.) as a Chiefs Play 60 Challenge School.

the Play 60 ideals to more than 10,000 children in 2012.

Last year, students from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska visited the Chiefs Sports Lab powered by Blue KC.

Sports Lab Located inside Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs Sports Lab powered by Blue KC is a destination for students of all ages. Last year alone, 20,000 kids experienced this unique venue while learning how to become more fit and active.

8

The Chiefs Sports Lab powered by Blue KC aligns with the Missouri Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and Kansas Standards, Benchmarks and Indicators (SBIs) in Science, Health and Physical Education.

Youth Football The Chiefs efforts to promote and expand youth football are at the forefront of the organization’s focus.

This can be seen in a myriad of different programs, including the Chiefs Youth Football Field as well as the team’s collaboration with USA Football and its “Heads Up” initiative.

HARVESTERs BACKSNACKS

ocally, more than 90,000 children receive free and reduced-price school meals during the week.

However, those very same youth are still at risk

of hunger on weekends. That’s where Harvesters and its BackSnack program offers a helping hand. Thanks to this program, backpacks of food are provided via schools to low-income children for the weekend.

Regularly, the Chiefs Community Caring Team joins with Harvesters to provide the volunteers necessary to fill these backpacks with food. Monthly, Chiefs staff and Red Coaters spend their lunch breaks readying backpacks with the nourishment necessary to help feed not only these students, but typically their families as well. Additionally, Chiefs players,

FAMILIES IN CRISIS

coaches and the Chiefs Women’s Organization have given their time to this important endeavor. As a result, nearly 19,000 children are fed each week.

However, that isn’t the only hunger-relief initiative on which the Red and Gold partners with Harvesters. Be it serving on the Harvesters board of directors, partnering on food distributions such as the Souper Bowl of Caring and Lift Up America, or participating in various fundraisers, including the Celebrity Chefs Classic, the Chiefs and Harvesters have become a potent team.

12

“There are 375,000 individuals within our region that are designated as food insecure, which means that they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Of those, one in five are children. Thanks to the efforts of the Chiefs, in conjunction with Harvesters BackSnack initiative, these kids receive vital nourishment they otherwise wouldn’t have access to.”

– Wesley Fields, former board chair, Harvesters

13

Operation Blessing The Chiefs, in conjunction with the Kansas City Royals, host an annual Operation Blessing Food Distribution. Each year, more than 200 volunteers join players, alumni and staff in distributing food to approximately 3,000 local needy families.

In celebration of the Souper Bowl of Caring, nearly 70 members of the Chiefs Community Caring Team, including the Red Coaters, packed more than 2,100 BackSnacks for area youth in need.

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING Held annually during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, the Chiefs are a national sponsor of the Souper Bowl of Caring hungerrelief program. Chiefs Community Caring Team members kick off the initiative at Harvesters each season, and their efforts have resulted

in more than 100,000 meals being distributed locally.

LIFT UP AMERICA The Chiefs and Lift Up America have joined forces for the past nine years to feed our community. Each year, 60 area relief organizations receive 30,000 pounds of protein product.

Wide receiver Dexter McCluster made a special in-home delivery during the annual Chiefs Thanksgiving Food Distribution.

Thanksgiving Food Distribution Since 1992, Chiefs players, coaches and front office staff have collected funds in support of the annual Chiefs Thanksgiving Food Distribution. In that time, more than 16,500 families have been fed as a result of this initiative.

Dan Hunt was joined by Chiefs Ambassadors and other members of the Hunt family, including Lamar Jr., Sharron and Clark, to load food during Lift Up America.

Read and RISE As part of the team’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, the Chiefs hosted a special two-day Read and Rise Book Fair for the schools of the Guadalupe Centers, Inc. All middle school students and kindergartners were given a voucher to receive a book at the Scholastic Book Fair while their parents attended a special reading workshop.

Chiefs CFO Dan Crumb shares a Dr. Seuss classic with kindergartners from Pitcher Elementary (Kansas City, Mo.) during Read Across America Day.

Read Across America Last year was the 14th time that the Chiefs Community Caring Team participated in Read Across America Day.

As a result, the Red and Gold assists more than 50 of the center’s families, including nearly 125 children in 2012, that otherwise wouldn’t be able to share a traditional holiday as a family unit.

“All of the support that the Chiefs have given to the Joplin community just means so much to each of us. It is especially nice for our kids to have such a beautiful new playground thanks to the Chiefs. There’s not another park in this area, and our kids enjoy playing there so much. It isn’t just the schoolkids who play there either because there are also two apartment buildings located close by. I certainly think there will be a lot of kids playing on the playground for years to come.”

CHIEFS COMMUNITY CARING TEAM One way the organization supports our region is through Chiefs Community Caring Team visits. This unit, led by Clark and Tavia Hunt along with the entire Hunt family, includes members from the Chiefs organization who participate in community outreach efforts throughout the year. This includes visits to schools, community centers, food pantries, hospitals, military institutions and various other agencies.

Player Outreach It’s not uncommon to see your favorite Chiefs players volunteering their time in the community and lending a helping hand. In fact, since linebacker Derrick Thomas established his “Third and Long Foundation” in 1990, nearly 80 members of the Red and Gold have created individual player foundations and/or charitable programming.

Supporting ouR Public Servants The Chiefs are highly supportive of our area’s first responders and public servants. To reinforce that spirit of admiration, the Chiefs Community Caring Team made a surprise visit to the Central Jackson County Fire Prevention District in honor of 9/11.

The Chiefs have hosted a Toys for Tots collection with the Marines 24th Regiment for the past 47 years, the longest such affiliation in the NFL.

Military outreach The Chiefs have a long-standing appreciation for the men and women in our armed forces. That spirit is reinforced thanks to a unique partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), including annual base visits to local military installations and support Chiefs wide receivers Terrance Copper (#10) and Jon Baldwin take a ride with one of Ladder Company 1’s bravest during a special 9/11 recognition at the CJCFPD.

CHARITY GAME “This past year’s Chiefs Charity Game was the largest fundraiser Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City has ever had. Being the game’s beneficiary helped us provide life-changing friendships to more than 500 at-risk children.

Kids with Bigs have improved self-esteem, receive better grades, are more likely to graduate high school and college, and are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.”

– Micheal Lawrence, CEO of BBBS-KC
