The Kansas City Chiefs players may be off until training camp, but the Chiefs Community Caring Team has remained active this summer, making initial stops in Omaha, Nebraska, and Wichita, Kansas.

OMAHA

On Thursday, July 14, the Chiefs spent the entire day in Omaha, first stopping at a local Hy-Vee. Former Chiefs linebacker and Kansas City ambassador Anthony Davis, along with Chiefs cheerleaders, signed autographs and met with fans.

After the Hy-Vee appearance, Davis and the Chiefs travelled to Miller Park, where they hosted a Play60 event.

The team's time in Omaha concluded with the unveiling of newly renovated ball fields, which benefitted from last year's Red Friday sales in Omaha. CFO Dan Crumb, who was recently named one of the Kansas City Business Journal’s CFOs of the year, made the trip to Omaha for the ceremony.

"Omaha certainly has a lot of Kansas City Chiefs fans," Omaha mayor Jean Stothert explained. "We are very grateful for what the Chiefs have done. Last year, when we announced this, it was a big day for Omaha, and to see the sign unveiled and the work done, it means so much to this community, this area and especially the kids that are here."

The fields were named in honor of Omaha police officer Kerrie Orozco, who lost her life in the line of duty more than a year ago.

"Kerrie would have been very thrilled with this," Stothert added. "I think you could see that her influence and her motivation will live on forever."

WICHITA

This past Tuesday, the Chiefs Community Caring Team continued its mission by heading to the Wichita Boys & Girls Club.

Together with Chiefs cheerleaders, former defensive lineman and Kansas City ambassador Mike Bell hosted a Play60 event.

"Today was a great event, great opportunity for our members to come out and get some activity," Jordan Wiens, the director of operations at the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Kansas, said. " It falls right in line with our triple play program that we run on a daily basis. Play60 is a great NFL program our kids were excited to participate in."

The Chiefs Community Caring Team will be holding watch parties at both Offutt Air Force Base and McConnell Air Force Base next month to get each city ready for Red Friday.
