Travis Kelce Throwing Fundraiser For Heights Foundation

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — One of Heights High's most famous alumni will give back to his hometown schools this week. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's "Walk the Walk" fashion show fundraiser will be held July 19 at Red Space in Cleveland.

According to a spokesperson for Kelce, "Walk the Walk is a fashion benefit created by Travis Kelce to raise funds and awareness to give back to the city that raised him - Cleveland Heights."

"We're thrilled to be chosen to partner with Travis Kelce's Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation. As locals know, Kelce never misses the chance to remind a national audience where he's from and his pride in being a member of "Tiger Nation" as a 2008 graduate of Cleveland Heights High School and a member of the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame," said Julianna Johnston Senturia, executive director, Heights Schools Foundation.

Tickets are $80 for the event. Each ticket buys admission to a runway show, a silent auction, an after party with celebrity DJs and four drink tickets. Attendees must be 21 or older. The event's online ticket portal promises guests the chance to spend time with Kelce and his friends from Cleveland and Kansas City.

The proceeds from the event will go to Eight-Seven & Running, Kelce's charity, which is partnered with the Heights Foundation. The two groups work together on the school district's transportation needs.

"We're grateful that he is giving back to his hometown by increasing access to after schools programming. His Foundation is doing good work, and Heights Schools Foundation and the CHUH Schools District are proud to be a part of it," Johnston Senturia said.

Tickets can be purchased online.
