KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, August 26 in the club's only preseason home game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Fans can find important information and reminders regarding Saturday's game below.

Chiefs Charity Game

Saturday's game will mark the 39th annual Chiefs Charity Game. Since its inception in 1985, and through the vision of Lamar Hunt and the Hunt family, the Chiefs Charity Game has raised more than $15.5 million for local charities that support those in need. The 2023 Chiefs Charity Game marks the third year with MOCSA (Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault) as the game's beneficiary. Over the past two years, the Chiefs Charity Game has raised more than $900,000 to help hire additional prevention specialists and coordinators, as well as increase education and prevention work in schools.

Since 1975, MOCSA has been the only rape crisis center in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, serving victims of sexual abuse and assault across the lifespan, and educating the community about sexual violence. MOCSA's counseling, advocacy, education and prevention services allow the agency to fulfill its mission to improve the lives of those impacted by sexual abuse and sexual assault, and to prevent sexual violence in a six-county, bi-state service area.

The Hunt family and team Founder Lamar Hunt established the Hunt Family Foundation in 1983 to support charitable agencies in the greater Kansas City community. The Hunt Family Foundation is committed to making a positive impact on those in need in the communities where we live and work through philanthropy, programming and volunteerism. The Hunt Family Foundation will present a check at halftime of Saturday's game to MOCSA.
