MOCSA – The 2023 Chiefs Charity Game

The Chiefs Charity Game, which was held on August 26th, continues a long-standing commitment of supporting the local community. The annual event, created by Lamar Hunt and continued by the Hunt family, was first held in 1985. This year’s beneficiary was MOCSA (Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault). MOCSA has been the beneficiary for three years in a row, and $1.4 million has been raised for the organization during that time. Proceeds are earmarked to assist MOCSA in expanding education and prevention programs in local schools.
