by

As a gamer with a soft spot for both music and charity, I can’t help but be utterly charmed by Taylor Swift‘s latest act of kindness. Having spent countless hours playing games like “Rock Band” where her songs are staples, I’ve always admired her talent and success. But it’s actions like these that truly make her a role model worth emulating.

As the holiday season approaches, pop star Taylor Swift chose to delight a group of children facing hardships by offering them financial assistance. This thoughtful act follows closely on the heels of her moving visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Missouri. Likewise, Taylor Swift has shown significant generosity towards Operation Breakthrough, a charitable organization based in Kansas City.

Here’s everything you need to know regarding the 14-time Grammy winner’s latest charitable act.

Taylor Swift donates to Operation Breakthrough

A week ago, Taylor Swift’s representatives contacted the head of a Kansas City organization. They shared that Taylor Swift intended to give a substantial donation amounting to $250,000.

In response, Mary Esselman, CEO of Operation Breakthrough, expressed her thanks to the generous artist. She shared that the kids were thrilled. When asked if they wanted to create a small token of gratitude, there was an abundance of eager participants. True to form, the children from the Kansas City organization made a one-minute video to express their appreciation for Swift.

According to USA Today, funds donated by a singer will kick off three initiatives. One of these is a workforce development and entrepreneurship program that aims to establish 10 labs for children to learn practical skills in various industries. Another initiative is called the before-and-after school program, which offers childcare services for families during school vacations.

In summary, the third and last program belongs to the early learning initiative. Operation Breakthrough, a charitable organization, focuses on assisting youngsters from financially disadvantaged backgrounds by providing educational programs and childcare services.

Significantly, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s longtime partner who resides in Kansas City, has been connected with Operation Breakthrough since March 2015. Every year, he generously sponsors the 87 and Running robotics team, and in 2020, he went as far as buying a muffler shop to support the organization’s workforce development and entrepreneurship program.
