Red Coaters | Kansas City Chiefs - Chiefs.com

The Kansas City Red Coaters are a community-service organization comprised of business men and women, working professionals and individuals who are passionate about their Kansas City Chiefs and have the opportunity to give back to the city, surrounding areas and the region. For over 50 years, the Red Coaters have represented the team on game and throughout the year, volunteering with organizations on a variety of civic/charity events including: golf tournaments, Harvesters food distribution, school reading programs, NFL Play 60 events, 'Cook for Kids' program for the Ronald McDonald House Charities and other community services.

The Red Coaters enjoy a very special opportunity to express their fandom on game day and enhance their experience as they proudly welcome the Chiefs to the field at Arrowhead Stadium, a tradition that remains intact since 1963.

Each year, Red Coaters volunteer with Chiefs staff at every level, from Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt to the front office, KC Wolf, Chief Cheerleaders to current and former players; and above all, with the fans.

Being a Kansas City Chiefs Red Coater not only enhances the experience and excitement of being a Chiefs Season Ticket Holder, but it also provides a great opportunity to be a "Face for the Chiefs" while volunteering with the Chiefs Community Caring Team, as well as at the "Home of the Chiefs."

In 2022, Red Coaters volunteered just under 3,000 hours in the community and for events at Arrowhead Stadium, an impressive feat after the program was paused for two years due to the pandemic. The Red Coaters volunteered with a variety of organization, including Harvester's, YMCA Drive-thru food distribution, American Heart Ball, various charity golf tournaments, Go Red for Women luncheon, Miracle of Innocence Ball, and Art for Arthritis, to name a few. The group also volunteered at Happy Bottoms, donating over 1,700 diapers as part of a Chiefs community activation.

Currently, there are 71 "Active" Red Coaters, whose years of service in the Red Coater Program range from one year to forty-six years. The group has selected 15 apprentices to the 2023 Red Coater program.
