Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced his Eighty-Seven & Running foundation is set to purchase a building to give local students from underserved neighborhoods a place to study for STEM careers.
Kelce explained the project, which is being done in coordination with Operation Breakthrough, is aimed at giving Kansas City teenagers a "safe haven" for learning.
"I am excited to announce I am purchasing the building that will be the future home of the 'Ignition Lab: Powered by 87 & Running'—a co-working space where these teens will have the support, resources and opportunity to explore careers in STEM, launch their own entrepreneurial ventures and gain real-world experience," he wrote.
