Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes quietly helped raise money for young victims of Texas flood
The Heaven’s 27 Foundation was established following the horrific flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas in early July.
More than 130 people were killed in the flood, including 27 girls and counselors at Camp Mystic. That’s an all-girls summer camp located near the Guadalupe River.
Those deaths sparked the creation of the foundation, which ultimately will be used for “scholarships, funding youth programs, supporting vulnerable groups, and other outlets to spread joy and hope in our girls’ names,” according to the San Antonio Foundation.
A benefit concert was held in September and raised more than a million dollars for Heaven’s 27 as well as rebuilding efforts in Texas. That’s according to the Josh Abbott Band, which played at the Deep In The Heart Benefit Concert.
The Josh Abbott Band was formed in Lubbock, Texas, so it’s no surprise that the group’s frontman was at Saturday’s Texas Tech-BYU football game. Abbott shared a photo to his Instagram story of him with the most famous Tech alum of all: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
In that post, Abbott noted that Mahomes had quietly helped the Heaven’s 27 Foundation.
“This dude helped us raise $130,000 at our benefit concert for heavens27foundation,” Abbott wrote.
There has been little if anything said about Mahomes helping raise money for the flood victims. It’s cool that Mahomes did that behind the scenes.
Nine-year-old Janie Hunt, a member of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt’s family, died in the flood.
