Travis Kelce's charity, Eighty-Seven Running, donated $100,000 to a family affected by the mass shooting at the Super Bowl parade.

The organization, which provides opportunities to underprivileged youth, has made two $50,000 donations to the Reyes family GoFundMe page. The fundraiser was organized after their two daughters were shot during the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade on Wednesday, February 14.

“The girls were celebrating with many members of their family when they were senselessly injured. We ask that you continue to keep the family in your prayers as the girls work on their recovery,” the fundraiser description reads. “This fund will provide vital financial support for their physical and mental recovery; any remaining funds will be kept for their college funds. All the money is deposited into a bank account that has been opened especially for the girls. Any amount is appreciated.”

Thanks to Kelce's donation, the page surpassed its $100,000 goal, raising more than $175,000 as of Friday, February 16.

After tweeting Wednesday that he was “heartbroken” by the violence, Kelce decided to continue the party while injured children were treated at the hospital for gunshot wounds.

With a beer in hand, he posed for selfies with police as he entered the Granfalloon Bar and Grill before heading inside.

Travis, who was too drunk to speak at the parade, decided to continue the celebration after the shooting with a “scaled back” party at a local restaurant.

He stopped for a selfie with police handling security for the event before entering.

The party was organized by the team after the Super Bowl victory, but many players decided to stay home after the tragic shooting.

Kelce wasn't one of them.

He continued the festivities with some teammates and their partners, posing with Patrick Mahomes' girlfriend Brittany in a photo exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

He has yet to respond to criticism of his continued celebrations.

Prosecutors have still not decided on charges against the three suspects they have in custody.

These are two young people who, according to the police, had a 'personal dispute' yesterday.

One, who was carrying an assault rifle, was tackled by heroic fans as he tried to flee the scene.

None have been mentioned. The local prosecutor says they plan to try all suspects as adults, with the judge's permission.

New Delhi: David Warner ended his glorious red-ball career with a match-winning 57-run knock against Pakistan in the third and final Test match of the series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on January 6. As the legendary leadoff hitter walked back, he kissed his helmet and gave it to a lucky fan in the stands.

The video of David Warner’s latest strike in Test cricket is now going viral across the social space. Fans are fast[idly sharing Warner’s video on the internet. Warner is one of the most loved cricketers and his fans are not missing the opportunity to shower endless love on him at this moment.

Though Warner fell when Australia were 11 short of the target after being trapped lbw by off-spinner Sajid Khan, the left-handed batter had done enough to ensure a comfortable win, getting a standing ovation from the crowd and end his Test career on a high as Australia achieved a 3-0 series sweep over Pakistan.

“It’s pretty much a dream come true. Win 3-0 and cap off what’s been a great 18 months to two years for the Australian cricket team. On the back of the World Test Championship win, Ashes series draw and then the World Cup and then to come here and finish 3-0 is an outstanding achievement and I’m just proud to be with a bunch of great cricketers here.”

“These guys they work their backsides off. The engine room, the big three quicks plus Mitchell Marsh. They work tirelessly in the nets and in the gym and credit to them to stay in the park, the physios, the staff that are behind that is outstanding. Look at them, they’re amazing. And I don’t have to face them ever again in the nets. Which I don’t do anyway. So that helps,” said Warner to host broadcasters after the match ended.

Warner finished with 8786 Test runs at an average of 44.59, and a strike-rate of 70.19 with 26 Test hundreds and 37 fifties, and also won the ICC World Test Championship 2023 title. “(This morning was) Just a casual walk up to the local cafe and get a cup of coffee with the young one. I just got into the car and packed a wine or two. Shouldn’t say that too loud, I’ll get in trouble.”

“I felt happy and really, really proud. And just to come here in front of your home crowd with the support that they’ve shown me and the Australian cricket team over the my last decade or my career, I can’t thank them enough. Without you guys we aren’t able to do what we do and it’s really really much appreciated.”

“We’re in the entertainment business and I’m just happy to come out here and showcase what I try to do all the time. I started with T20 and tried to come out here and tried and emulate that but I tried to play my shots, go out the way that I have played. And yeah, managed to get a win on the board which is great,” he added.

Warner had also said that it was the end of his ODI career, where he made 6932 runs at an average of 45.3, with 22 ODI hundreds and 33 fifties, including winning the Men’s ODI World Cup title in 2015 and 2023.

“I think it’d be quite emotional to watch the guys go out there (in their next Test against the West Indies) and not play and knowing that I was able to come out here and do what I could do. But as I just mentioned you got a great bunch of cricketers here. We are all almost over 30 years of age. So as time goes by, we’re not getting younger, but this team, they’re energetic, they’re world class and they’re a great bunch of guys.”

“(I would like to be remembered as) exciting, entertaining, and I hope I put a smile on everyone’s face with the way that I played and hopefully the young kids out there can follow in my footsteps. White-ball cricket to Test cricket. It’s the pinnacle of our sport. So keep working hard to play the red-ball game because it’s entertaining as well,” he concluded.

Serena Williams gets into the spirit of giving an unconventional gift to fellow parents this holiday season.

“I’m really excited to donate some breast milk left over from my trip in New York to people who really need it,” Williams, 42, said in a video shared via Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 20, when the camera showed the inside of a refrigerator filled with milk. “It will be anonymous, but super excited to help in some way.”

Williams explained in her caption that after going through a screening, she was “able to donate it instead of taking the milk home.”

“I know so many wonderful women who are adopting or failing to make milk,” she continued. “It felt great. Besides, someone out there is getting some super soldier milk.

Legend! Serena Williams has overcome every obstacle on her way to becoming one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Perhaps even more impressive is that she now combines perfecting her game with raising her daughter Olympia. Williams was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in September 1981.

Williams recently shared that she has found alternative ways to use her breast milk.

“Okay, is this totally weird???” she captioned a TikTok video earlier this month. “I have to say that after a week of using MY breast milk under my eye – it worked! I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Be nice lol.”

In the clip, Williams appeared to complete her skincare routine as she explained that she was “completely burned” under her eye.

“I put this retinol and cleaned my skin,” she said. “I have sensitive skin, so I lay in the sun. Long story. Anyway, I’ll try some breast milk.’

Williams then poured her breast milk onto a cloth and dabbed it under her eye, noting that the method “works for my child.”

“They say to put breast milk on everything, and I have a lot of extra, so I’m going to try it under my eye for a week or so and see how it goes,” she said, adding that “it already feels better because, like, it hurts.”

Adjusting to life as a mother of two comes with a number of challenges. Last month, Williams candidly shared her struggles, adding that it’s “OK not to be OK.”

“No one is okay every day,” she wrote via X (formerly Twitter). “If you’re not well today, I’ll be with you. There is always tomorrow. Love you.”

Williams then shared a selfie cuddling with her youngest daughter in a subsequent post. “This makes me so happy,” she wrote via X.

Dick Wolf, the creator of ‘Law & Order’, has given it a promised gift more than 200 works – including paintings, sculptures and drawings – for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collections of Renaissance and Baroque art. He is also donating a significant sum of money, the Met announced Wednesday, adding that two galleries would bear his name.

Wolf has been a discreet collector in the art world, turning his attention to older works at a time when the most well-known collectors are investing in modern and contemporary art. Some of his promised gifts to the museum were also recent purchases, including a 15th-century Botticelli painting that sold for a prize. $4.6 million in 2012 and a 16th-century painting by Orazio Gentileschi that sold for $4.4 million in 2022. The Gentileschi can already be seen in the recently reopened European painting galleries; Wolf also donates a work by Artemisia, the artist’s daughter, for which it was sold $2.1 million that same year.

Max Hollein, director and CEO of the Met, said he and the museum’s curators have built a relationship with the television producer over the past three years; however, he stayed away from giving advice on the market.

“I never wanted to be too presumptuous,” Hollein said in an interview. “But I think he was already thinking about the Met.”

The collection also includes a $2.8 million painting by van Gogh, sold in 2022, ‘Beach at Scheveningen in calm weather’, one of his first oil landscapes. The painting was made in 1882, on the beach outside the fishing village of Scheveningen, but the artist later left the image in a crate with about 40 works. His family kept the chest with a carpenter, who later sold its contents for the equivalent of 50 cents to a junk dealer named Johannes Couvreur.

A museum spokeswoman declined to give a specific amount for the donation, which will see Wolf’s name appear on two galleries in the department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, but said it was in the tens of millions of dollars.

Wolf declined an interview but said in a statement that his appreciation for art began when he visited the Met as a child on his way home from school. “It was a simpler time, there was no access, you could walk in from the street,” he said. “I am sure most collectors would agree that it is an honor to have your art on display in the greatest museum in the world.”

Hollein characterized Wolf’s donation as one of the most meaningful gifts to the museum in recent history.

“The collection reflects Dick Wolf’s outstanding connoisseurship and enduring dedication to the diverse artistic media of the period,” he said. “In addition, the substantial financial contribution will provide critical support for the Met’s collection exhibitions and scholarly activities.”

A supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory from whom the Trump campaign distanced itself in 2020. A real estate developer and Trump megadonor. A funeral company.

They were among the largest contributors to a legal defense fund set up by allies of Donald J. Trump to help pay mounting legal bills for people linked to the various investigations into the former president. The fund is not intended for Mr. Trump’s own accounts.

The fund, the Patriot Legal Defense Fund Inc., raised a total of $1,624,360 from July through early December, according to documents the group filed with the Internal Revenue Service on Tuesday. The group submitted another application on Wednesday showing that no contributions or expenditures had been made. It was unclear why.

The largest donation in the IRS filings Tuesday — $1 million — came from the Caryn L Hildenbrand Living Trust. Mrs. Hildenbrand is also known as Caryn Borland. She and her husband, Michael, gave more than $1 million in campaign-related contributions to Trump’s 2020 reelection effort. Sharing memes and social media posts about the QAnon conspiracy theory led Mike Pence, then vice president, to ask for a ​​cancel fundraiser with them. Attempts to reach the couple were unsuccessful.

The conspiracy theory, embraced by some of Mr Trump’s supporters, involves false claims that top Democrats are Satan-worshipping pedophiles and that the former president has been recruited to break up the global pedophile cabal. Mr. Trump has increasingly nod to the movement and its memes in his social media posts.

The filing on Tuesday listed just 21 contributors, with one donation of just $60. One donation of $34,000 came from Cleveland Funeral Home Inc. Another was from Robert Zarnegin, a wealthy real estate developer in California who has been a frequent donor to Mr. Trump.

Michael Glassner, Mr. Trump’s longtime political aide who is leading the effort, said the group was “pleased with the early support” it had received. He said the Justice Department’s criminal cases against Mr. Trump, which he insisted were politically weaponized, had “required many innocent supporters of President Trump to need lawyers, and the Legal Defense Fund can assist them with these costs.”

Kenny Williams, co-owner of the Cleveland funeral home that made the $34,000 donation, said via text message that his employee had a personal relationship with Mr. Trump, but he declined to answer additional questions about that employee. “We still stand behind him!” he wrote about Mr. Trump. “He is a man of his word.”

So far, none of the money has been allocated to people with legal bills, according to the filing. The largest expense paid by the defense fund was $18,136 for Mr. Trump’s members-only club and residence, Mar-a-Lago. The Florida club hosted a dinner for the defense fund on November 29, which Mr Trump attended.

Most of the money raised appears to have been related to that event.

Another Trump-focused group, a political action committee called Save America, has burned tens of millions of dollars to help pay legal fees for the former president and some people connected to the web of investigations and lawsuits he faces. By mid-year, the last time the group had to file with the Federal Election Commission, Save America had spent more than $20 million in legal fees.

The amount was so large that after sending $60 million to another outside group supporting Trump’s campaign, Save America requested a refund. Save America has been steadily getting refunds from that other outside group, a super PAC called MAGA Inc., according to two people familiar with the matter.

The flood of legal bills, which has increased as Trump prepares for four possible trials in four different jurisdictions after being charged with 91 crimes, is a source of tension within the former president’s sphere of influence. That’s especially the case because Mr. Trump doesn’t like spending his own money on lawyers.

Baby becomes multimillionaire property owner at just two days old when wealthy grandfathers who were Britain’s first gay fathers gift her a £1million house and a £5million trust fund

  • Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has said he can’t wait to spoil his granddaughter Marina

A baby has become a multi-millionaire property owner at just two days old after her wealthy grandfathers gifted her with a £1 million house and a £5 million trust fund.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow made history with his ex-husband Tony Drewitt-Barlow in 1999 when they became the first gay couple to be registered as parents after welcoming twins Saffron and Aspen via surrogacy, followed by a son, Orlando.

Barrie divorced Tony in 2019 and got together with his new partner Scott Hutchinson, who used to date his daughter, and the couple welcomed a daughter Valentina in October 2020 and son Romeo in 2022.

The businessman, 51, reportedly worth £200 million, has now congratulated his daughter Saffron on her baby girl, saying he ‘can’t wait to spoil her’.

“I just bought her a £1 million new house this weekend and I commissioned a team of interior designers to go in and completely renovate it for her,” he said. The sun.

“Aspen just bought them a £5,000 Dior pram and pram.”

He added: ‘And as this is Tony’s first grandchild, he’s set up a £5 million trust fund for her, so she’s already a multimillionaire.’

Proud grandfather Barrie posted a photo of his new granddaughter on Instagram with the message, “My girl got her own girl today!

‘The past few weeks have been very traumatic, but today my new princess has finally arrived!!

‘I would like to introduce you all to Marina Drewitt-Barlow-Tucker born 36 weeks and 3 days… 24.06.2023. 6 lbs 9 oz, 3:58 – Tony Drewitt-Barlow and I couldn’t be more proud of Safron Drewitt-Barlow and Conor Tucker for producing this little princess for our family!

“Our first granddaughter and a new princess to spoil x.”

He then posted a second photo of Saffron holding Marina in a hospital bed and saying they were his two princesses.

Marina is poignantly named after Conor’s mother, who reportedly passed away several years ago.

Saffron also posted a photo of her with her baby daughter in the hospital, describing her as “our little princess.”

Barrie said Saffron had been “incredible” and made him proud.

Barrie, who also has another son named Collin from a heterosexual relationship he had when he was younger, reportedly bought his son Romeo a £250,000 yacht when he was born.

Romeo’s first outfit was also a Gucci newborn outfit that Scott bought.

Barrie and Tony made history in 1999 after becoming Europe’s first same-sex couple to use a surrogate.

After a lawsuit, they were listed as “parent one” and “parent two” instead of mother and father on the birth certificate.

Barrie and Tony split in 2019 and Barrie started dating Scott shortly after.

A teen influencer who was bullied at school has been praised for donating £200,000 to charity after writing a book about his experiences as an autist.

Charlie Baker from Leyland, Lancashire has become a best-selling author at the age of 16 after his first book, Charlie Baker: Autism And Me, became a success after hitting shelves last year.

The teen, who has more than 589,000 Instagram followers, revealed that he had been bullied since he was five years old and was not officially diagnosed with autism until he was about six years old.

In his book, he wrote, “I was bullied a lot until the end of elementary school and all through high school.

‘I was bullied for years, and that affects you much more, you think. People think that words are just words and never think about how they can influence someone.

Charlie Baker, from Leyland, Lancashire, was bullied at school for being autistic; the book he wrote about his experiences has proved a hit and he has raised £200,000 for charity

“You really never know what someone is going through and one comment, which may seem stupid to you, can really touch them! I am very thankful and thankful for the voice and platform I have today!”

Charlie felt compelled to write the book to encourage more people to speak out about their autism struggles.

Charlie revealed that he was also inspired by Christine McGuinness, who discovered she was autistic at the age of 33.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Charlie said, “I wrote my books to help people and make them feel like they’re not alone, because they really aren’t and I’m just now realizing that.

“With my book, we did just that. A man contacted my team through my platforms and left a review of how much my books had helped him. I will take that review to the grave, it touched me so much.

“This man said he had just been diagnosed with autism. He said my book was the book that saved his life. This man was suicidal, but because autism was portrayed as “normal” in my book, he felt normal. Being neurodiverse is nothing at all to be ashamed of.’

The social media star offered advice to others who are currently dealing with bullying themselves.

His first book, Charlie Baker: Autism And Me, became a success after it hit shelves last year

He said, “Don’t deal with it alone. Tell someone, they can help. My posts are always open to anyone suffering from any form of bullying or mental health issues.

“Bullies just bully people because they see something in you that they don’t see in themselves. Bullies are jealous.”

Charlie said the best thing about autism is “being different” since so many others are just trying to mimic each other.

He said, ‘People always try to be the same as others, I think, why? Why would you want to be the same as someone else?

“I love, love, love being different and I wouldn’t change it for the world, and neither would you! Being different is good. Not bad.’

Charlie added, “All proceeds from all my books go to charities that help people struggling with autism, so I don’t make any money from my books. So far we have raised over £200,000 for charities worldwide.

‘My books have reached people as far as Dubai, UAE and even an Australian cricketer has read my book!!

“I’m doing it to raise awareness of autism, not for financial gain. I did this while I was still in full-time education.

“I want to use my platform and my name to help people and encourage more people to speak out about their autism struggles.”

The teen is currently writing another book but this one is a different read and he urged his followers to keep an eye on his Instagram page. @charliemichaelbaker for updates.

“I would love to keep writing for people to read! I also have a book coming out soon, but it’s more of a different book.’

Beyoncé donated £8,000 to a Nigerian restaurant in north London that was in trouble and threatened to close due to rising utility bills.

Chuku’s, a Nigerian tapas restaurant in Tottenham run by brother and sister Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederik, was one of 10 winners to receive a grant from music superstar 41 this month.

As part of her incredible Renaissance World Tour, BeyGOOD, the Halo hitmaker’s foundation, had pledged to donate a share of $1 million (£806,000) to ten companies in cities around the world.

They include Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago and London – where Bey (worth an estimated £420 million) took the stage five times in May and June, performing at the nearby Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

While Chuku’s has built an impressive following since opening in 2020, they faced tough times after launching during the pandemic, including struggling with the cost of rising utility bills.

At the end of last year, the restaurant set itself a huge challenge to get 600 bookings in six weeks. And impressively, they managed to get their hands on a whopping 801.

Emeka and Ifeyinwa faced a wealth of support from the local community, A-list celebrities and footballers eager to sample Chuku’s unique take on traditional Nigerian dishes.

And now they’ve received an extra boost from the Beyonce Foundation, with the grant awarded at The Black Parade Small Business Impact Luncheon, created by BeyGOOD to “celebrate people, communities and small businesses impacted by economic inequality worldwide.” ‘.

The luncheon was held at the Four Seasons in Tower Hill, where 100 entrepreneurs gathered for the chance to win $100,000 (£806,090) in prizes.

And with over 400 entries, the win was all the sweeter for the duo as they were only part of the two percent of winners on the night.

Chuku co-founder Emeka said of the win, “This grant couldn’t be more welcome. Chuku’s, like other restaurants that lack financial reserves, has been battered by lockdowns and the crisis of the cost of living.

“Every day we fight to stay open to make it to our fourth birthday. This money will make that struggle a little easier and we can continue to celebrate Nigerian culture on Tottenham’s High Road for the time being.’

While his sister Ifeyinwa added: ‘I still can’t quite believe that Beyoncé has supported our restaurant – it feels a bit surreal.

“We had already felt her impact when she was in town and concertgoers chose Chuku’s for their pre-gig meal, but this is a whole other level.”

Whether she believed the Cuff It singer had ever tasted their food, she said The times: ‘We never knew [if] everyone came for a takeaway or sneaked the food. I think it was about what we put in our application.’

Asked what difference the grant has made, he added: ‘It helps keep you energized. To receive this award, someone has to say, “We see you. We recognize your hard work.” This is one of those times where it’s a fantastic push forward.”

The superstar showed off her toned physique in a sexy red outfit with coordinated elbow-length gloves and a flowing red fabric that stretched from the top of her head to each of her elbows.

The beauty donned a glamorous makeup palette, accessorized with long dangling silver earrings and completed the look with red tights and diamond-strap heels.

The Renaissance World Tour is the singer-songwriter’s ninth concert tour in support of her seventh studio album, Renaissance.

Renaissance was one of the biggest summer albums last year after the pop icon released the disco-inspired collection of dance songs.

The concert series kicked off in May at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

A few weeks ago, while performing in Wales, Beyonce wowed her fans when she enlisted the help of her audience to release her 2011 song Love On Top, leading to a perfect rendition of the song, after which the music icon told the 75,000-strong crowd, “Give yourself a round of applause.”

During her performance, she played a range of her popular songs such as Formation, Run The World (Girls), Love On Top and a powerful mix of Dangerously In Love, Flaws And All and 1+1 that thrilled the audience. .
