KANSAS CITY, Missouri (KMBC) — One of the newest members of Chiefs Kingdom gave the gift of Christmas to more than 50 families at a special event on Monday.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was behind a holiday surprise for more than 50 families.
Smith-Schuster and his foundation paid off almost $10,000 in layaways at a Kansas City-area Burlington store.
“I love it so much because being a part of the community is what it’s all about,” he said. “These people are die-hard fans. They support us every Sunday, every game that we play in.”
Smith-Schuster said there were times as he was growing up when he didn’t get a gift or had to share one.
Fast forward to now — the wide receiver says he wants to give back to families who might be struggling.
“It’s just nice that I have an opportunity to be a role model to these kids and to give back to the community,” he said.
This was the JuJu Foundation’s first event like this in Kansas City.
