Chiefs fans in Green Country have a lot to be excited about.
Without a doubt, many across the region will tune in to Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday to watch Kansas City take on the San Francisco 49ers.
One Chiefs fan club in Tulsa plans to watch the big game in a special way.
Chiefs Kingdom Tulsa began five years ago, with six people just meeting up at a bar to watch the Chiefs play. Then they decided to dedicate that time each week to help a great cause.
“As we were sitting around, having a couple beers, and watching a game,” founder Andrew Barnsbee recalled to us, “we thought, ‘Man, we could do this and raise some money. What better place than St. Jude?’”
Barnsbee told us that, this year alone, the club has donated over $20,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“They’re [St. Jude] just a blessing, man, they do a lot of stuff. I’ve never heard anything bad about St. Jude. And some of the people just come out, just to support Saint Jude — not even a football fan.”
