KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs Kingdom has stepped up to donate to the Tyreek Hill Family Foundation.

After catching a touchdown pass from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during theWild Card playoff game against the Steelers, Hill celebrated by dancing with pompoms he borrowed from a Chiefs cheerleader.

The NFL, which many have dubbed the "No Fun League," later fined Hill $12,875 on Jan. 22 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

To make the most of the buzz surrounding the fine, Hill's foundation encouraged donations to surpass the NFL's fine.

By Wednesday afternoon, the foundation announced it has raised $12,877.

The money raised will be used to deliver supplies on Friday to people experiencing homelessness.
