Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reminds us of San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle



49ers TE George Kittle won a 'Salute to Service' award this year for hosting military families and frontline heroes at every NFL game with over 400 tickets for six long years. George Kittle shared, “What I take back is being able to give back just a little bit, like a football ticket. They need more people to go out of their way to support them. That’s all I really care about is giving that extra support.




That extra support is now being offered by billionaire pop singer Taylor Swift’s NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Travis is sharing the stories of veterans with the world through films, by producing films. Kelce is trying his level best to give back to the military community.




My Dead Friend Zoe’s director, Kyle Hausmann-Stokes shares, “He (Travis) has really brought so much additional attention and ultimately, selfishly, I want people to enjoy this film. I think what Travis did for us was just this tidal wave of energy and exposure.

My Dead Friend Zoe is set to release in theatres on February 28th, 2025 in the USA.
