Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has won Nationwide’s 2025 Charity Challenge, marking the fifth time in six seasons a Chiefs player has earned the award. Kelce claimed the honor for the second straight year and became the first three-time winner since the program began 11 years ago.

As part of the award, Nationwide will donate $35,000 to Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City. The organization supports children and families by providing education and care in a safe environment. Kelce has donated nearly $2 million to Operation Breakthrough over the years and helped fund the Ignition Lab, a hands-on learning center that has served more than 1,000 students since 2020.

The winner was decided by a fan vote on social media. Other recent Chiefs winners include Patrick Mahomes, Tyrann Mathieu and Eric Berry.
