<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nEarlier this year, Travis and Jason Kelce made a quiet contribution that helped make a special Olympic moment possible for U.S. hockey star Laila Edwards. The brothers donated $10,000 to a fundraiser that helped bring Edwards\u2019 family and friends to Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Their support came after her family faced a difficult choice between watching her Olympic debut and covering everyday household expenses. Edwards went on to help Team USA win gold, creating a moment her family could celebrate together.<\/p>\n Edwards\u2019 Olympic journey was already historic before she stepped onto the ice. The 22-year-old became the first Black American to win an Olympic medal in women\u2019s ice hockey after Team USA defeated Canada in the gold-medal game.But getting her loved ones to Italy was not easy.Edwards\u2019 father, Robert Edwards, launched a GoFundMe campaign titled \u201cSend Laila\u2019s Family to the Olympics to Cheer Her On!\u201d with a $50,000 target. The goal was designed to help the family avoid choosing between Olympic travel and essential bills at home in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.The Kelce brothers, who also grew up in Cleveland Heights, had followed Edwards\u2019 career since she became the first Black player to make the U.S. senior women\u2019s national team in 2023. They later supported her through an anonymous $10,000 donation.The contribution helped make the trip possible for 14 people, including Edwards\u2019 parents, grandmother, aunt, cousin and older brother.The family had initially been able to afford travel for only two people.\u201cWe had to start talking about how to get money,\u201d her mother Charone Gray-Edwards said, according to the Associated Press. \u201cWho would go? How would we afford it?\u201d<\/p>\n The Chiefs tight end\u2019s support extended beyond the financial contribution. Travis also reached out to Edwards before her Olympic debut, offering encouragement as she prepared for the biggest stage of her young career.\u201cHe was just saying, everyone\u2019s got my back. He\u2019s rooting for me,\u201d she said, per the AP. \u201cThey didn\u2019t have to do that, but they did. And I\u2019m really grateful.\u201dJason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, were also in the stands for the gold-medal game, giving Edwards a familiar connection to her hometown while she represented the United States.Edwards made an impact on the ice, recording an assist during the gold-medal victory. Team USA eventually defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime, securing only the third Olympic gold medal in U.S. women\u2019s hockey history.For Edwards, the victory was more than a sporting achievement. Her family had made the long journey to Milan, and the Kelce brothers had quietly helped make that possible. Their involvement added another meaningful layer to an already historic Olympic chapter.<\/div>\n Travis and Jason Kelce (Instagram) Earlier this year, Travis and Jason Kelce made a quiet contribution that helped make a special Olympic moment possible for U.S. hockey star Laila Edwards.
