There’s plenty of excitement leading up to the Divisional Round matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, January 18. The winner of the Divisional Round will continue on their hunt for a Super Bowl victory and play in the AFC Championship game against the winner of Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills matchup.
Ahead of the game, the Chiefs made a heartfelt announcement regarding tight end Travis Kelce.
Travis Kelce and Operation Breakthrough
On Thursday, January 16, the Kansas City Chiefs took to X to announce that Operation Breakthrough student Javion will go to Super Bowl LIX, courtesy of Kelce. “Enjoy the game, Javion,” they added. So, the Chiefs can hope that Javion’s Super Bowl experience will entail watching the team bringing home another trophy.
Operation Breakthrough, according to the organization’s official description, is a not-for-profit corporation “providing a nurturing and safe environment for children of the working poor that began in 1971 by Sister Corita Bussanmas and Sister Berta Sailer.”
They add that Operation Breakthrough “responded to the need for quality child care and provided a nurturing and safe environment for children in poverty. Operation has grown and expanded over the years, but the vision has been for all children to have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.”
The Chiefs also took to social media to announce that the halftime performer for the Chiefs against Texans game will be rapper Big Boi.
