In the last preseason game of the year, The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Minnesota Vikings in the club’s first and only preseason game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday, August 27th.




This game will mark the 37th annual Chiefs Charity Game. Beginning in 1985, the Chiefs Charity Game has raised more than $14.7 million for local charities that support children in need. Over the past three years, the Chiefs Charity Game raised more than $1.6 million to help keep children safe and families together through Cornerstones of Care. The 2021 Chiefs Charity Game will be the first year with MOCSA (Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault) as the game’s beneficiary.


Since 1975, MOCSA has been the only rape crisis center in the Kansas City metropolitan area, serving victims of sexual abuse and assault and educating the community about sexual violence. MOCSA’s counseling, advocacy, education and prevention services improves the lives of those impacted by sexual abuse and sexual assault, and to prevent sexual violence in a six-county, bi-state service area.
