The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated “Read Across America Day” in grand fashion on Friday, visiting over a dozen schools and organizations throughout the metro to promote the importance of reading.
Chiefs President Mark Donovan, offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz, Senior Vice President of Business Operations Bill Chapin and a handful of Chiefs Ambassadors were among those who joined in the effort, marking the 20th consecutive year that the Chiefs have participated.
The nationwide program once again coincides with the 114th birthday of famed children’s author, Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel.
“It’s just a way of reinforcing how important it is to learn to read,” said Donovan, who visited Laurel Hills Elementary.
