Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to at least 20 charities this week, ahead of their wedding extravaganza in New York City.
The superstar couple, both 36, are set to officially tie the knot at Madison Square Garden in NYC on July 3, with more than 1000 guests in attendance.
A smaller, more intimate rehearsal dinner for the couple’s closest 100 friends and family will be held at the Infosys Theater inside MSG on July 2 – and Swift’s longtime friends and collaborators have been spotted on the East Coast ahead of the wedding weekend.
The charities benefiting include nine foodbanks – including one in Swift’s hometown of Reading Pennsylvania – three children’s hospitals and seven educational programs.
The generous eight-figure sum was split between local and national organizations to honor cities where the couple has deep ties.
The donation recipients include; City Harvest New York City, Food Bank For NYC, New York Cares, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Harvesters – The Community Food Network, (Kansas City), The Store, (Nashville), Helping Harvest (Reading), Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Feeding America, ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Grammy In The Schools, Education Through Music, Answer The Call, Musical Mentors, After-School All- Stars, After-School All-Stars, MSK Kids, the pediatric cancer program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Children & Teen and Adolescents & Young Adult (AYA) Programs, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone and Children’s Mercy Hospital.
In the wake of the donations, The Store’s Instagram page shared a thank you post reading, ‘We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their transformative gift to The Store.’
