Chiefs Charity Game and Junior Chiefs Cheerleaders
Recognized as the top philanthropic game of its type in the NFL, the Chiefs Charity Game continues a long-standing commitment of supporting the local community that was started by team founder Lamar Hunt more than four decades ago. This year’s beneficiary will be Jackson County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). CASA volunteers are community volunteers who stand up and speak out to help children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

There will be several activations through the game celebrating the Chiefs Charity Game, including a halftime check presentation from the Chiefs and the Hunt Family Foundation to Jackson County CASA.
Additionally, Saturday’s matchup will celebrate the Junior Chiefs Cheerleaders program.

At halftime, over 500 members of Junior Chiefs Cheer and the Junior Flag Crew will perform alongside Chiefs Cheerleaders and Flag Runners.
